Review: Interesting toy - Great toy for my son who loves to build things. He did need an adults help and one that knew about construction haha! It wasn't easy
Review: Good gift for children interested in engineering. - I bought this kit to help with a college project where I had to design and build my own cable car system that could run automatically in a workshop environment. For that purpose, I found it very useful. The assembly process was straightforward, and it was easy to understand how the different components and mechanisms worked together. It provided a good basic demonstration of the principles behind cable car movement and helped give me ideas for my own design project. The instructions were clear, and the kit itself was simple enough to put together without becoming frustrating. It is also a good educational kit for introducing younger users to basic engineering and mechanical concepts. I did not actually use the completed model for extended operation, so I cannot properly comment on its long-term functionality or reliability. However, as a learning and demonstration tool, I found it very helpful. I did find it to be a great price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a Chinese version and are instructions in English?**
A: Sorry for delay in responding.   Unfortunately I can't help as this was given as a present, though I don't actually remember seeing anything before I wrapped it that indicated it wasn't in English.  Sorry not to be more help.

**Q: how long do the batteries last?**
A: You have to supply the batteries and we found that the batteries did not last long.  This was for a 7 yr old who was fascinated by putting it together (we helped) and playing.  Though the battery life was short, the enjoyment of the toy outweighed the disappointment.

**Q: Does it have a motor? And if it does how powerful is it?**
A: Powerful enough to drive an empty drinks can - presumably painted by you to look like a cable car compartment - to the end and back automatically until you or the child get sick of it.

**Q: Same questions - is this in Japanese? Or English?**
A: Unsure. Instructions were in English but we no longer have the box to check whether Japanese or English.
