Just make you want to start building stuff.

What an eye opener. I still have an un opened no 6 set I got for Christmas when I was 15. I'm 55 now but I'll not part with it. Thanks for posting this fantastic clip.

[kielego]

Yea. I should stop buying Lego technic sets.

[theonemasterwarhero]

that black and gold traction engine is the best i want that to be a set u can buy anyone would love a model with that many moving parts......why cant meccano make that as a model to buy!!!!!!

[youtship]

Compared to Lego technic, Meccano is much more rigid and stable.

Look at the excavator, it does not shake at all.

I have a Lego 8043 excavator, which digs like shivering.

Wonderful ingenuity. Wouldn't it be wonderful to wake up one Christmas morning and find all of this under the tree?

[taj913]

Love the Climax Geared Steam Engine and 9F

[TechSmack]

where do people get these special plates and parts? the normal multi-model ones are crrap

[LondonMeccanoClub]

@TechSmack Try the online Meccano dealers - the dealer at our club is Dave Taylor at meccanoman.co.uk

@LondonMeccanoClub Thanks

Isn't Meccano brilliant? How else could a young kid learn, from hands-on experience, engineering basics, the principles of levers, gears, motors and so on? I'm glad to see it's in the same league as train sets in that you're never too 'grown up' to tinker with it. That allows me to look for some. I had a whale of a time with the motorised set I got for Christmas in the 70s, but never advanced beyond simple things. These models are amazing.

It has not gone unnoticed, that many of these models use non-meccano parts, so should not have a place in a true meccano exhibition.

This makes my heart beat faster. I miss my childhood...

[Daimo988]

@kimosabesun hmm seems my aim sucks so i apologize for hitting thumbs down haha, some of us however choose not to grow up, alot of us still have an 8 year old inside who plays with toys, thats what i love about kids, playing with all the toys again, trying not to hog it all though haha
