By the way, I also had a Meccano set when I was about 7-8. I played and played with that, until the paint come off !
To be honest, I am now 63 and if I still had that Meccano, I would still be playing with it now !
My parents could only afford the smallest set, the No. One ( from Hamleys, as I recall ) but my mate a few doors away had the bigger, No. Two set, so we could combine them together and make ,ore of the bigger, more complex things that came in the magazine !
Happy days indeed !
