You might enjoy this about Meccano too .. This is a beautiful piece of engineering from a while back

There also is many quite realistic large scale locomotives that move and an incredibly cool Aston Martin DB 9 built from Meccano components that must have taken ages ..and numerous functioning syncro mesh gearboxes and even a Lamborghini V12 engine made from Meccano.

So many great options with Lego though and it's a pure joy to see the Lego stuff you guys do within the Lego community ..Fantastic kits literally for all ages from LEGO especially.

We need more LEGO , Meccano , Erector , R/C of all kinds , model making either moving or static , model railways (my thing I guess) , and similar in our lives .

Great hobbies like these are really important in these troubling times to provide welcome distractions I reckon .


This is a great thread and I hope it remains a really popular one . I'm enjoying it immensely anyway .
Try putting 'Lego Trains' into your Youtube search box

Try Googling it, you may be surprised.
