I forgot about the electric motor part! We had Lincoln Logs too, but I think we just would build little houses and then take them outside and set them on fire when the folks weren't looking Along that same lines some distant friend of a relative passed away when we were still young and gave my brother and I this huge balsa wood model of the Arizona, about 4-5 feet long, it was about 80% complete but didn't have the remaining pieces to finish it. So to reenact history, we took it down to the creek, put some gas on it and some firecrackers. My brother and I had a strange fetish for fire that luckily didn't follow us into adult hood (too much )
I remember having a big set of Lincoln Logs too along with my Erector set. No electric motor for me though.
