Empire #0717 Flintstones Crazy Loco Train Set (1980)

In case you're wondering, I haven't given up or stopped working on Flintstones posts. The past week has kept me busy with a couple of other projects and in the meantime I was also photographing and taking videos of this cool Flintstones Crazy Loco train set by Empire.

This was a recent acquisition that, when I saw it, knew it had to be added to the collection. Made by Empire in 1980 for sale by Woolco (Woolworth's) this now makes three different Flintstones themed battery operated train sets I have by Empire. I wasn't even sure if it was complete or if it even worked, but I took a chance on it anyway! Fortunately, after unboxing all the components I was very surprised to see that it was in fact complete and operating. Needless to say, some quality time was spent watching this gizmo go through its paces!
