It's time to repair my Classic TrackMaster Duck that did not work from the toy factory. This 2009 Mattel toy uses a similar design to the TOMY Thomas toys. These earlier Thomas toys are more complex Vs the very simple design of TrackMaster 2 Thomas toys. The electrical circuit relies on solid bent wire thats not soldiered to other parts. This tends to be the weakest link in the toys design because the electrical circuit can be easily disrupted by rust, dirt or just sloppy toy factory work. The gearbox in this toy is a little tricky and be prepared to have gears fall out when the gearbox is split. To me it's worth fixing this toy because these Classic TrackMaster Thomas toys are far nicer than the TrackMaster 2 Thomas toys. I show a variety of Classic TrackMaster toys still in box from between 2010 to 2013 and it's amazing how much has changes in only a few years. Sure these older toys were a little more expensive but I believe they are well worth it. Sadly I feel some toy companies are not producing the right style of toy that are needed to combat the iPad / Screen Generation children. This is not the time to be simplifying, cheapening and shrinking toys! Now is the time to be making the most awesome toys. Toys that look awesome and play awesome. And again I use the amazing TOMY Streamlining Thomas as the pure example of whats need to get the children to play with the toys again.
