Chuggedy Chug Game

A simple train game for children in which a player spins a spinner and then moves his train down a track. Special spaces on the track can force the child to blow his whistle or to lose a turn, possible destroying a deeply developed strategy. The game is significant for its theme. Pictured prominently on the box is the ventriloquist Paul Winchell and two of his wooden dummies. In reality, Winchell and the dummies have nothing to do with the game - their names simply appear on the board. But Winchell was at the height of his popularity when the game was released, so he name and image were used as makerting tools. On a side not, Paul Winchell also did the voice of Tigger in the Winnie-the-Pooh movies.
