Meccano Magazines - for the older ones!

[KerryS]

I have found this website that has scanned images of all Meccano Magazines.

As I say, one for the older ones amongst us........

Wonderful!

The kids of today miss out on the hours of fun spent building meccano objects.

I just can't see what fun there is in playing computer games, crashing cars and killing people.

I was any excuse to build stuff out of mechano when I was a kid - breaking up other toys for their electric motors to use - ahh and the smell of buring elastic bands

my kids love lego and they also have some early learner mechano type stuff

I don't mind admitting I love making things up with them      - mind you my eldest (nearly five) loves the PS3 which we let him play a couple of times a week

I bet all of the older ones amongst us had a big box of Meccano...

My favorite was a dragster built of mechano!! Long wires to connect it to the transformer, so it could accelerate over the full length of the room. Great!!

I cant remember what I did with all my mechano. Must get up in the loft some time and have a rummage.

I've got the old fashined mechanno but I noticed on James mays program (where he built a bridge) the modern mechano uses allen bolts which must be a whole heap easier and far less chance of getting stabbed by the screwdriver
