R752 Battle Space Turbo Car
This was made in the 1960s, as part of the Triang Hornby 'Battle Space' range of models.
It's an unusual model train item, as it is a stand alone vehicle that can't be joined to anything else. The motor also powers the propeller at the back, not the wheels.
It's also a health & safety nightmare for smaller children! This thing can fly round the track and anyone at ground level taking a look it is liable to get a poke in the eye. A spinning propeller at the back is also not great for little fingers.
Having said that, it's a real curiosity and boxed ones are becoming quite rare.
