Nothing beats the magic of driving your very own steam train. But, sadly, due to the merciless advance of technology, driving your own Great Western Adelante or Virgin Voyager doesn't quite measure up.

Still, there's always the magic of the fork-lift to fall back on. And why oh why do we perfectly mature and otherwise well adjusted grown men go all weak at the knees when confronted with the opportunity to drive a fork-lift truck round a warehouse? Some, it is said, prefer fork-lifts to other more manly pleasures. We could not fathom it ourselves until this smart yellow remote controlled gadget arrived in the office.

Being a fully motorised and mechanically precise 1/20th scale model of the real deal, it immediately took our breath away. Then we saw it in action and it's fair to say that it took everything away. Literally. It moves forwards and backwards. It steers. It lifts and tilts. And even scuttles around making those strangely whiny fork-lift noises.

And because no fork-lift would be complete without its own obstacles and accessories, this serious set comes complete with cones, a pallet and even a miniature crate to heave around your desktop.

Now you can be master of your own warehouse. And shift those pallets like a real man.
