Subject: DO you remember the name of this toy????
Written By: Hyperkid on 04/21/03 at 04:01 a.m.
Hello,
I am new here and I am trying for the life of me to remember the name of a toy that I had when I was a kid either in the 70's to early 80's. Here is what I can remember about the toy:
It was a plastic dump truck (battery powered) that ran on a plastic track and picked up metal balls at one end of the track, then it would go around the track doing different things and then drop the metal balls off at the other end and then head back to the beginning of the track and repeat the cycle. I think it was made by tomy, but I am not for sure on that. If anyone can help that would be great!!! A name ?? A picture?? anything. I would really like to track one down. ??? ??? :-/

I remember the toy, cannot for the life of me remember the name. Sorry, I will take a look around to see if I can identify it though.

Was it 'Big Loader' or something like that? I think they did a remake using Thomas the Tank Engine recently if so.
