(comment) Among the more than 40 variations of "Honeymoon Express" produced by Marx, "Popeye Express" is by far the most popular, and the mechanism powered by the spring is orthodox with airplanes and trains rotating, but it is popular because of the variety of Popeye characters depicted as a whole. There are painting variations at the airport in the center, with an early version with a popeye illustration and "POPEYE'S BLOW ME DOWN AIRPORT" printed on the roof, and a colorful painting throughout, and a later version with a camouflage painting of the entire building in orange, black, and olive green (Itami)
