Do they still do Tonka toys? I'm a bit out of touch now that The Reichskinder have grown up and fled the nest. My lad Tom had a simiilar set-up but all with Tonka, including a concrete wagon that could actually mix concrete (well, mortar anyway). I buried a 1500 dia manhole ring in the garden, filled it with old KDS and boulders, and it became his 'quarry' for at least a couple of years.

Make the most of it while you can, Giles. A couple of years later, aged 9, he was on to the real thing....

...and now he's 23 I can't get the lazy git out of bed before 4pm.
