This is great. My dad got me one of these for Christmas when I was 11 along with the Girder and Panel set from Kenner. He knew I had a leaning toward engineering from the Christmas prior to that when I was upset my older brother got the erector set and I got a bycycle. As it turned out, I am now retired having spent 40 years in engineering at Honeywell, Marconi, MCI and a Finish company called Kone. Sadly, they don't make toys like this anymore.
I got a set I think in 1962 for christmas. It was a great toy and gave me experience on how liquid moved and could be pumped. I ended up working on irrigation projects at a state university. I wish I had the set today but ended up using the pumps and tanks to make a working submarine.
I have 3 of these No. 11 Kenner Hydro-Dynamic sets along with 2 of the No. 12 Double Pump sets. All of my sets pump water without any problems. They are a lot of fun and make me feel like a kid again.
I received this for Christmas. I LOVED IT. I learned about pumps, plumbing, and some basic engineering principles. A+
