Only ever got as far as setting out the set - I read about the problems with the springs and never had the nerve to fire it up.

Noisy is right.I bought a dozen extension sets back in the 80s at £2 each of a guy at the NEC and sold them on straight away the same day.Seems there where loads about.The power pack turned up in my local wholesalers a few years ago and people where buying them as bell transformers.There where hundreds if I remember rightly .I bought one and was facinated be the name on it that wasnt Matchbox but MATCHLESS. I tried but couldnt sell it on Ebay in 6 months so stashed it..It may be in the loft somewhere.....Just looked.There loads on Ebay heres one ..Did I break the rules..? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lesney-Matchl ... 4ae76cc600
Heres the man with the bargains.Always open to offers from this sites members..http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/misterpop/m.h ... m=&_ipg=25

I have seen some of his other videos and they are all brilliant, not only that but great camera work etc, he must have had a lot of fun making them.
