My dad set this up for me and my brother back when I was a kid, and we would play with it for HOURS. Over the years I always looked with envy at the big rigs and dump trucks passing by. Welp, it's never too late. I'm closing in on 50, and got my CDL earlier this year. I go into training to drive a tractor-trailer for a farm/ranch supply chain on Tuesday. 🤠👍
So the farm/ranch supply people ended up being total pieces of shit, so I went OTR. I've now picked up or delivered freight in almost every one of the lower 48, and been through almost every one I haven't. No Dakotas, Wisconsin, or Minnesota, or Maine, but everywhere else, I've been there.
Santa brought me the "7 action" set. What a fantanstic toy! TYCO had it figured out right down to the low gearing. Kids of today have no idea what a great toy is! The very fact that you can find these, and they still work ,is a testament to the build quality. Thanks for the memories!!!
@@nitrobobgamez865 Yup, everyone has their faces slammed into their phones these day's, there is no fun, no joy, no interaction or socialising anymore, just "Hey" and "OK"... How society has fallen.
Yes I had one and it was hard to find in my area. I finally got one at a Toys R Us. It was a straight track and was black. Don't know why it wasn't gray.
I remember having basically all of those different little attachments with my full trucking set as a kid. It was one of my favorite things. That's seriously cool! Watching this brought back so many wonderful memories, thank you for that.
I've not seen anything as great in my 64 years. Pure genius on the storage part. The thrill is everything works at an astounding level. As an Aurora collector, I can say there was nothing quite like this. The best part - you get to actually play with this incredible set up. WOW
When I was younger, all my friends and I had at least 1 of the accessory sets for this line, with the 1 piece of track with the spur... but NONE of us had the actual set with the controller! So here we are, 30 years or so later... and thanks to RUclips apparently deep scanning my brain... I now get to see a fully operational set!
I never saw one like this. I often thought of using a slot track with a train layout and have it wired for a two lane road instead of the same direction side by side. Here Tyco did it with a lot of bells and whistles, so to speak. Thanks for the display and video!
I have a number of the accessories in the original package. Fire Station's, Truck Stop, Pipe Unloading Crane, Auto Trailer, and others. Real nice layout.
Had 5 sets of these as a kid in the 80s--put them all together...loved it. Including the one that came with the oval railroad added to the tyco truck set.
I have a bunch of this sitting in boxes in my garage, still have the trucks too, probably don't have a lot of the little stations anymore as I believe those got scattered around a bit. I never saw the car carrier one, I have the airport and the log one and one or 2 others, definitely need to pull it all out and set it up some day. This is totally bringing back so many rad memories, thanks for sharing.
Absolutely love this!!!! I had tyco US 1 electric trucking when I was a kid. Now at 48 I do it for a living here in NYC lol...thank you so much for this
My brother & I had the basic of basic Tyco semi truck set. he had the red & silver semi truck with the P. I.E. van trailer & i had the green dump truck. His truck would hook & unhook from the trailer at his terminal. My truck would dump the wooden logs at the sawmil terminal. And around & round & round the highway track we would truck. . . .for hours! Thankya for bringing back the memories
Totally coolness best thing bout having a Tyco trucks or train set is the fact you can cut the lights off and run it at night which makes it even cooler, wishing I could relive my Tyco yrs over again
This is soooo much fun and creative!Well done!Im here because I recently "disover" an old TYCO Formula 1 track set that I have laying around in my old parents house since my childhood!!!So much memories and I think its time to start building something...!!!!Thanks for this video!
That was amazing, inventive, creative, innovative, ingenious, and looked like a ton of fun! The video was funny as hell! Really really well done all around! The portability factor was also a work of genius! I had so much Tyco stuff...I even worked for Tyco in the early 80's! I had no idea this existed until recently! Where was I?!?! I now want to dismantle my recently built model RR and start all over with this!
I had so much fun with my US1 set as a kid. Later in my teen years we would do "Road Warrior" stuff with our slot car tracks. I can tell you that green dump truck, with the bed flipped over like a shell, tooth pick "logs" on the front and sides, turned it into a beast.
Wow did I just have flashbacks to being a kid. I had the green tandem, and the yellow tractor with the gravel trailer. Thanks for the memories! Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure it's still in a box somewhere in the basement!
The power of Commercials....when Id see these Toys on Commercials as a kid (im 50), I thought I could BUILD THE WORLD if only I had one of these lol........ Look, moves Rocks and Pipes... I could build a WHOLE TOWN with this equipment lol
I wanted the trucking set so bad when I was little, I did have a cool tyco cliffhanger set and a really neat tyck turbo hopper dune buggy slot car set with hills and mountains. I always wanted to make a baja 500 style layout for the off road set. Your portable layout idea is great!
I got a set for Christmas, mine had a tractor, gravel trailer, dump truck, and a fire truck. It came with a pipe loader you backed into and the pipes rolled into the dump truck. I bought a additional truck and a 2 trailer pack, Coca Cola tanker and a Roadway dry van. Never seen the auto carrier and accessories before...
Nice! I had the track with the barricade light that flashed where it came close to crash vehicles in the 80's. Two battery street lights and overhead highway sign!
That's an awesome set, I bought a random slot car lot a few years back and it had the turnoff pieces in it.. and I never understood what it was for .. Now I know.. Thanks for sharing
Simplemente: "GENIAL". Yo no conocía esta serie de Tyco. Tengo un Tyco train "Railroad Empire II" hace 30 años. Gran marca. Gracias por el video. Escribo desde Santiago de Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia.
Wow! Had a couple of the trucks but nothing like this. Well done. Someone definitely put thought into loading the trucks hands free. Clever storage as well.
I had this track as a kid.The commercial made me want this so bad i bugged and bugged my mom for this.Well they had the construction one not this big but it had the dump trucks and everything.
Besides the one with 4 spd controllers, this is my favorite set. Only because I had the first set and was too old for this one, here I am in my 50’s and I still love it.
This looks like a spitting image of my Faller HO set I had in the sixties. That was German made. (I'm from The Netherlands) I also had an HO traincrossing with moving gates.
Watched video with envy. My cousin had the USA 1 set, my youngest brother had a small circular train set, other bro had figure 8 race track that had 2 Firebirds with working headlights, and I had the the track with stock cars that could remotely switch lanes.🙂

I finally found the missing part of my childhood. I must now acquire it.
this is amazing I'm 66 years old and I've never seen a Tyco track like this unbelievable
That's nothing...I'm 55 and I'm never seen anything like that at all. Used to do the train thing but too expensive anymore.
Santa brought me the "7 action" set. What a fantanstic toy! TYCO had it figured out right down to the low gearing.

And then there's young me who enjoys model railroading, and none of the other kids understand
@@nitrobobgamez865 Thats O.K. Old me plays with trains now.
@@nitrobobgamez865 Yup, everyone has their faces slammed into their phones these day's, there is no fun, no joy, no interaction or socialising anymore, just "Hey" and "OK"...
How society has fallen.
That is cool. If I am not mistaken, tyco also incorporated a train crossing for your HO train to work with Trucking USA set.
Yes I had one and it was hard to find in my area. I finally got one at a Toys R Us. It was a straight track and was black. Don't know why it wasn't gray.
That's what made me click this video.

The car loading and unloading is genius!
That is fantastic. I remember this line from when I was a kid but the layout and its ability to be transported is next level BRILLIANT.
I had a layout similar to this one back in the early / mid 80's. Hours and hours of fun that was!
Wow, talk about a blast from the past...I'm 45 now, and still remember having this track when I was really young
As a train guy, I have to say that is a pretty awesome setup. Well done.

I begged my parents for three Christmas’ straight before i finally got the special US 1 over and under set. I LOVED IT!
This was the best Christmas gift my parents gave me as a child. I spent hours playing with this everyday. I'll never forget this.
I never saw one like this. I often thought of using a slot track with a train layout and have it wired for a two lane road instead of the same direction side by side. Here Tyco did it with a lot of bells and whistles, so to speak. Thanks for the display and video!
Not sure why this showed up on my feed but I'm glad it did. So cool!
Your setup is really well designed! Watching this makes me miss my US1 collection! Thank you for sharing!
I have a number of the accessories in the original package. Fire Station's, Truck Stop, Pipe Unloading Crane, Auto Trailer, and others.
Real nice layout.
Love it; absolutely love it. You just took most of my 56 years off me; I feel like a kid again. Thank you.
My god that brought back memories. I absolutely loved this as a kid.
Had 5 sets of these as a kid in the 80s--put them all together...loved it. Including the one that came with the oval railroad added to the tyco truck set.
My eyes got huge when you flipped over the one panel as you packed up the display- super cool- thanks for sharing.
I had this as a kid. I had an airport and when the wheels hit the gears I think it turned a helicopter's rotors. This is a great video!
I have never seen a track like this! So cool! I keep laughing at the trucks working with aggression!!! lol.
Catzilla must enjoy taking over the town!
Wait'll they become Teamster organized. That will slow things down.
I have a bunch of this sitting in boxes in my garage, still have the trucks too, probably don't have a lot of the little stations anymore as I believe those got scattered around a bit.

Coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time
I forgot that I used to have one of these sets... Seeing the green dump popped the memory back.
Thanks for the memories. I remember having a two truck set and can recall the green dump truck vividly. It was an amazing toy.
Absolutely love this!!!! I had tyco US 1 electric trucking when I was a kid. Now at 48 I do it for a living here in NYC lol...thank you so much for this
Awesome layout brother ! Brings back great memories ! Kids today have NO IDEA the great toys we had growing up !
I remember these :). I had no idea they were so interactive!!!!
I still have all these vehicles and accessories. Nice to know I’m not the only one.
I had this Tory when I was a kid. Man it brings back lots of great memories….video games killed the fun of these types of toys.
Totally groovy. Tyco set back in the early 80's my brother and I had a Tyco Trans Am race car set. It was a blast I miss those days.
Never knew TYCO made something like this... Awsome
My brother & I had the basic of basic Tyco semi truck set. he had the red & silver semi truck with the P. I.E. van trailer & i had the green dump truck.

I remember seeing these advertised on tv and wanting one so bad when I was younger. I had forgotten about it until seeing this video.
I had one of these sets as a kid, About 1980? it was a lot of fun. thanks for the memory. Nice layout.
This is soooo much fun and creative!Well done!Im here because I recently "disover" an old TYCO Formula 1 track set that I have laying around in my old parents house since my childhood!!!So much memories and I think its time to start building something...!!!!Thanks for this video!
So darn kool
Great memories
Holy crap. I actually remember having this set. Mine had a cop car with it. Thanks for posting
I had this!! my dad brought the sets, including Howard Hanna building and restaurants.. even had the racers and extra Trax too!😯😮🤯
Absolutely gob smacking! This layout is a brilliant display of ingenuity and modelling skill. Thanks for sharing
I cannot put into words how cool this is. I had one of these sets, not nearly as big or as cool as this one, but it was still super neat.
I have a bunch of US1 stuff and some nice trucks I was going to sell, and after watching this I think I’ll set it up and enjoy it.
That was amazing, inventive, creative, innovative, ingenious, and looked like a ton of fun! The video was funny as hell! Really really well done all around! The portability factor was also a work of genius!
I had so much Tyco stuff...I even worked for Tyco in the early 80's! I had no idea this existed until recently! Where was I?!?! I now want to dismantle my recently built model RR and start all over with this!
I had that when I was little, best Christmas ever.
Wow, very cool. I have a small US1 trucking set. Green dump truck with the logs, and a red semi tractor with a Navajo trailer.
This was my favorite toy as a child thanks for the post

Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure it's still in a box somewhere in the basement!
Great job, thanks for the memories. The only thing missing is Benny Hill music 😂😂
I had this back when I was a kid-- so much fun
This is the greatest thing I have ever seen
Omg!! Thank you so much it felt like 1983 I'm in tears😢😉😉
Glad you liked it.
Love the point of view from the trucks!!
This is actually real cool! I remember the commercials.
The power of Commercials....when Id see these Toys on Commercials as a kid (im 50), I thought I could BUILD THE WORLD if only I had one of these lol........ Look, moves Rocks and Pipes... I could build a WHOLE TOWN with this equipment lol
LMAO.... Cat was like "ITS 3 IN THE MORNING JIM......... ENOUGH" lol

WOW I remember those toys. That is the ultimate setup for sure!
What a great system. Never seen it before (that I recall).
Thanks for this.

I bought a additional truck and a 2 trailer pack, Coca Cola tanker and a Roadway dry van. Never seen the auto carrier and accessories before...
wow. remember the TV ads but havnt seen them since. very cool to ad to an HO train layout with other Tyco accs like it
I had the original us1, fire alert and GI Joe US1! I miss that dump truck! It was the fastest one!!!
Nice! I had the track with the barricade light that flashed where it came close to crash vehicles in the 80's. Two battery street lights and overhead highway sign!
Oh wow, I had completely forgotten about US1! What a neat layout!
Wow. Stunning. That looks like hours of fun, especially the car loading/unloading. A great video.
That's an awesome set, I bought a random slot car lot a few years back and it had the turnoff pieces in it.. and I never understood what it was for .. Now I know.. Thanks for sharing
Oh my goodness! Lol! I wanted this when I was a little boy! When being a truck driver was the thing to be lol!
Simplemente: "GENIAL". Yo no conocía esta serie de Tyco.

Now that is awesome to look at. I enjoyed this video in its entirety. Thanks for sharing
Always saw this stuff at slot shows but never saw it in action. That was cool. Thanks
This guy has a lot going on on a few square feet. I bet he never grows old.
My buddy had one of these as a kid and we loved it
Wow! Had a couple of the trucks but nothing like this. Well done. Someone definitely put thought into loading the trucks hands free. Clever storage as well.
First I've seen of anything like this! I'm so jealous. Excellent editing. I love it.
I had this track as a kid.The commercial made me want this so bad i bugged and bugged my mom for this.Well they had the construction one not this big but it had the dump trucks and everything.
Very nice enjoyed this brings back good memories of my Aurora T-jet set
Woman: "I bet he's dreaming of other women"
Guy: ......
I would've loved to have had some of these when I was a kid.
Oh man that brings back memories lol I wish I had that still
you have brought back so many memories with this, i have recently rekindled my slot car hobby and this my second set I had, I so wish I had kept it.
I've watched this vid so many times. Carloader and airport 👍
I miss these. 😅 The dash cam 😄😄😄 love it.
Remember having the dump truck and logs....awesome video
Take it with you on business trips! To the beach! The basketball game! Wherever you go, you'll always be ready for big-rig fun! ; P
Besides the one with 4 spd controllers, this is my favorite set. Only because I had the first set and was too old for this one, here I am in my 50’s and I still love it.
That's a great layout and I love the updates and upgrades.
This looks like a spitting image of my Faller HO set I had in the sixties. That was German made. (I'm from The Netherlands) I also had an HO traincrossing with moving gates.
Toys were better back when. I had this set. Wish I had one still.
Wow , I had some of these as a kid . But they never seemed to function properly like this. Nice memories
I remember this set. It was a lot of fun. I had a few of the tracks. It's a shame you don't see TYCO sets anymore.
Tyco, IIRC, bought out by Mattel, and eliminated.
I remember those. I didn't realize there were so many accessories. Very nice 👍👍
This is actually one my dad owned he got it back in the 80s
These were the coolest! Very nice setup!
Race On!
Watched video with envy. My cousin had the USA 1 set, my youngest brother had a small circular train set, other bro had figure 8 race track that had 2 Firebirds with working headlights, and I had the the track with stock cars that could remotely switch lanes.🙂
Christmas 82....best Christmas ever.
