Tomy Big Big Big Loader

If you are looking for instructions for a Tomy Big Big Big Loader, follow this link to a pdf file.
Thanks, Tim for setting up the site.


If you need replacement marbles, email me. I'll send you an order form that I got from Tomy. They still sell the marbles as part of a Thomas the train set

I get at least one email a month from someone looking for instructions to a Tomy Big Loader set.

The Talker has one. He got it for his third birthday. We still get it out once in a while, but it is not one of his favorites anymore.

Anyways, the instructions are long gone, but the box lives on. Barely. So every time I am asked if I still have the directions, I end up taking some pictures of the box and emailing them. So I decided I would post them here, just in case some poor, hapless parent should be searching for instructions.

This is one of those toys that I would not try to set up without some help. There are several specific pieces that must go in a certain spot for the truck to run the entire route.

Edit: Add this to the Now Why Didn't I Think of That? File. I sent a guy these pics the last week. He was smart enough to email TOMY, the maker of the toy and they sent instructions. So I am now in possession of a pdf file instruction sheet specific to the Big Big Big Loader. Way to go, S!

I don't know how to upload it here, but I'll email it to ya!




I'll try to get some better pictures when The Boss Lady's camera is available.

For Jordan's 6th Birthday he got this Castle thingy that is made by Mega Blocks which look like Lego but are definitely not! I swear there were a thousand pieces. It doesn't stay together well and every time we get it out we have to put it together. A real test of your love for your child, that is.

Yeah, Mega Blocks lasted about one week around here. They would not stay together and The Talker was just frustrated with them all the time.

Yeah for Duplo! And now we are moving quickly into Lego. Big fun, big $$$.

Thank you so much for these pictures. I have been trying to put this together for my son for a couple of years now. If you have an idea where I can replace the dump truck attachment, I would appreciate it. We lost ours.

eBay is the only guess I have for parts. I occasionally see incomplete sets listed just for the spare parts.

You are likely buying a bunch of parts you don't need, but it might help out.

Hey Daddy,

Just wanted to thank you for the Tomy Big Loader instructions. My grandson has had it a couple of years and just dug it out of the closet. We don't have the box OR instructions so you saved the day! AND the toy!

Thanks! My boys found the big, big loader in the closet, and none of us could remember how to put it together. Glad to have found your site!

Thank you so much!
I have the big loader and the big big loader with no instructions, but with this I think I can put together the big big big loader.
