Notes
Issued 1972-74.
A delightful nostalgic piece, this model was inspired by The Magic Roundabout (Le Manège Enchanté) television series, which was extremely popular during the mid ’60’s until the mid -late’70’s.
The Magic Roundabout Train has the familiar characters of Mr. Rusty and Basil in the train along with the passengers Rosalie, Paul and of course Dougal, too.
The Train, Carriage and Van are colourful and complete with paper labels and all delicate parts intact.
Tiny wear only.
The large window box is very clean and bright, looking fresh with intact original cellophane window.
Couple of small end flap handling tears.
Bright, fresh and clean card inner has a small puncture due to model movement at one end. Light storage crease on box reverse.One of the best we have seen, this set comes complete with the little sealed packet of blue nylon rope.
