The Donald Duck Handcar features Donald Duck and Pluto figures and Pluto’s Dog House. The handcars are powered by a mechanical or clockwork motor operated by a wind-up key. The handcars are constructed with a stamped steel frame and dog house painted various colors. The composition Donald Duck and Pluto figures are mounted on the frame. The motor is connected to the handcar handle with an eccentric rod that activates the Donald Duck figure. In addition, when in motion, Pluto’s head bobs and Donald Duck “quacks”.
