Very nicely done Marshal.  I have several folks from my shows that have commented that some of the non powered " old fashioned " toys get played with more than some of the more flashy, noisy toys.  I like them as it provides a tool to work the imagination.  Thanks for sharing them with us.  I am sure that they will be around for a long long time.
