It is cute and nicely detailed, but unfortunately it's long enough that nobody can sit on the seat and reach the handlebars -- surprisingly, not even the MTM girls can do it convincingly. It plays a terrible tinny "Lonely Goat-herd" and goes in a circle if you put batteries in it 
I discovered the night before the eclipse that the projector needed to be put back together, after its last trip to Texas (how?!!? can that be 2 years ago already????
). The crew helped.

The girls had a private theatre to watch in, and we kept it from catching fire.

Maximum eclipse was only 26%, but it was still cool to see.
