A Tyco animated T Rex, from the Tyco Jurassic Park set that came out in 1993.
This one works quite well, and future plans to build up and over the
base are in production. Seen below in this video (not mine):

Awesome AOTW's all!! Whoa, busss, just how old are those Marx O-Scale accessories?
Here's my AOTW offering:
Since discovering aboard this forum many months ago, that Tyco produced a tunnel way back in the '60's as part of the "Red Box Era," I've been searching for a Tyco Tunnel for RETRO TYCO. I'm proud to state that I now own 2 unique and genuine Tyco Tunnels and both have been incorporated into my layout:
Turns out that the 2nd tunnel more closely resembles the catalog image, preserved on the Red Box Era Resource website.
As alluded to on the site, Tyco did not always produce tunnels perfectly like the catalog image, which means that EVERY Tyco Tunnel is special...and scarce as they've been out of production for nearly 50 years.

Those Marx signals are works of art, nice get! Love that "CAUTION: High Speed Trains."
Are they S or O? Or intended for either? WKS, that is a major neato find- I will have to
start looking harder at the Dollar Tree- that looks like a mint old classic- a station wagon
with a canoe, what a cool piece of Americana. I can just imagine it drifting down the river
in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania as the Lehigh Valley roars past. RP, those tunnels are just
amazing that they have survived, and they truly are bomb finds for the serious collector.
Love those textures and colors.
BTW, I posted a thread to the Model Railroader Magazine Forum that the TF is back
in business. There are a lot of posts about the TF being gone, those need to be updated
and I am working my way through them one at a time.
If you haven't checked out the archives of the first TF posts of 2008, you might want
to take a look. They are pretty darn cool.
