It's HO scale, but figures with working legs that pedal!

Yeah, Renaulds has been touting this for some time.  Cute gadget, but the entire system is not very flexible, and you have to run moving plastic chain with magnets under the layout.  Looks like pain to me.  The Faller car system is much more flexible (even if it doesn't have peddling bikers).
