Almost all of us should have fond childhood memories of playgrounds and individual pieces of playground equipment. The swing on which we were often pushed for hours by our parents; the roundabout that made us feel dizzy, or the seesaw that was so difficult to balance on.
Playgrounds can be found in every city and village and are therefore an important part of human coexistence. Families meet, children laugh and play, parents talk about work and parenting, and some of the latest items of gossip and tittle-tattle are exchanged while their offspring have a go on the swings.
After last year’s smash hit, the Tree with Swing, we set out to develop four moveable pieces of playground equipment: a seesaw, a classic swing, a bird’s nest swing and a roundabout.
The handpainted playground equipment and model figures come completely assembled. Each device is powered by a motor that is located directly underneath the model (installation depth 35 mm). The mechanism for the drive is supplied as a kit. The electronics supplied can be connected to a standard 16 V model railway transformer and are suitable for AC and DC. The speed of the playground equipment can be set on the circuit board.
The NOCH “micro-motion Roundabout” is excellent for recreating a lifelike children’s playground and putting it in the spotlight.
