Can be equipped with the Light and Sound Module. We have attached this light kit to the truck and it currently has working batteries so the lights work, the horn sounds, there is a running diesel engine sound and a siren. See the 4 red buttons on the light kit on top of the truck.
Note: We used glass vase gems to fill the hopper so that when turned one way they go further into the hopper and turned the other way, they dispense. We were not successful with beans, not heavy enough and too small. Others have done rocks in their trucks but these are prone to getting stuck (according to a youtube video we watched) so the glass gems worked the best and did not crack when “mixed” in the hopper. Our grandson loved seeing the gems come out as his cement.
The "unbelievably" realistic driver's cab with opening doors, a tilting hood that allows a view of the engine block, folding rearview mirrors, and numerous chrome-effect attachments is a real eye-catcher, and not just for trucking enthusiasts. The concrete mixer's drum can be rotated using a fold-out hand crank recessed into the "dummy water tank" (drum with mixing spiral). Depending on the direction of rotation, the load is pumped into the drum and emptied. The chutes mounted on the side of the body can be attached to the rear concrete chute for extension.
