When I was younger I saw an advert for a very simple toy loco, basically a boiler on wheels with a single oscilating cylinder on one side and a flywheel on the other. Cant remember if it was gear or band drive.
Cant remember if it was a IP engineering job, or Bandbright, but I'm sure it was called the 'Cricket'.
Does anyone know what I am on about? |

The air is slightly thinner, hence why Jimbo could move his fingers on the mouse and keyboard quicker
