C853

Notes

This has to be the largest set produced by Corgi and a real nostalgic treat.

Inspired by the much-loved Magic Roundabout children’s T.V. show, this set was issued 1972-73, and comprises:

1) Magic Roundabout Carousel complete with all four horses and intact and bright paper labels.
2)Magic Roundabout Train with Mr. Rusty and Basil. Complete with all delicate parts intact. The track which moves along when the blue handle is turned is complete and works well. The blue handle lacks the top part but this does not affect operation.
All figures are included i.e. Zebedee, Dylan, four childreen, see-saw (which no longer moves up and down, so needs a little repair), park bench, 3 blue trees or shrubs, 2 orange trees or shrubs (so one missing) and two flowers set on a stand.
Musical operation works well too.
Occasional minor rub etc.
The large card outer box is complete although it does have some notable wear, small areas of surface loss, and some repaired tears. Still an attractive and bright colourful box!
