The operational difficulties of these kind of operating cars and accessories were a filtering process for future toy train collectors. As children we could struggle with the operational frustrations of these kinds of items. Maybe we should start a thread regarding our favorite glitched out items. We stuck with them despite only temporary successes. This fully prepared us for the DOA and glitches of our adult toys. How many of we idiots try to fix early onset problems with our items rather than just sending them back.
I think that the launching of milk cans was a precursor to their military/space missile/rocket technology.
I think that jamming of milk cans still remains a proprietary patented secret.
Actually, I think that they were secretly made in China (further preparation for our adult frustrations).
