Name this toy?

When I was a kid in the early 90s I had a set of chunky, brightly coloured plastic squares that fit together like a jigsaw. They had cogs and things on them, so you could arrange them so they made each other turn. Anybody know the name of this toy?

Did they have animal faces on them? And they fit onto a big board shaped like a train or something?

Are they the ones that appear partbway down this page?

That's the idea, but not the same make. The ones I had were all different colours, and the edges were shaped like a castle wall, if you see what I mean. You could fit them together to make a cube if you wanted. There were no animal faces..

I had those when I was about three. They were called something like Gears-Go-Round or something.

You legend! How on Earth di you remember that? Now I'm going to have to try to find some to buy "for my nephew".

Thanks!

Lol! I have a video of me unwrapping it on my birthday, right before my Thomas the Tank Engine quilt cover.

Ok, that needs to be uploaded immédiatement. In fact, we should make an entire thread of retro christmas unwrapping videos. I think it would be turbo popular.

It would, but sadly the video in question is currently missing
