Time for a Christmas Toy.

As a little lad my father played with meccano. I inherited his sets and added to them when I was wee. Some of the sets must be over a hundred years old now. I must have spent hundreds if not thousands of hours building things. I have a photograph of me as a boy with a fine crane of my own design, I must dig it out and blip it if I can find it.

You can imagine my delight on Christmas morning to open this kit. So armed with nothing more than a bottle of fine Shiraz, some nibbles, a spanner, a screw driver and hundreds of nuts and bolts this afternoon's entertainment is to start this one. I wonder what it will make? I'll post it when complete.
