Tea? (Part 3)

[172traindriver]

It makes a change to picking on me...


I loved meccano

Just think Mrs D you could have made a cage to keep @stephec in

 

[172traindriver]

It seems I have well and truly overstayed my time on tea ladies and gents. Enjoy the rest of your evening. Nos da.

Good Night Mrs D

Two shops that sold sold the individual parts in the town centre.
One of those did the older parts, now hard to get hold of. Could never afford what I needed to finish anything.

Never had Meccano, but my best friend did. I was never home in time for tea.
I used to race out to Woolworths to spend nearly all my pocket money on Airfix kits as soon as I was given it. There would always be just enough left over to buy some pick-n-mix, which I ate on the way home. Then as soon as I got home I glued it all together so fast that the propellors never went round.Then seven days to wait until I botched the next one.

I've got most of mine from 35 years ago.

Faculties?

Cheers for the heads up on the Bobby. I have seen they have a bunch of lively singers on the right of the away stand, but I take it the neds (chavs down here) don't do the game, just hang about looking for away fans. My mate doesn't do scarves, but I suppose a couple of guys with English accents could confuse them, but we will be in a bit of a hurry. 17:18 to Glasgow. What about Airbles? There is a 17:10 off there and a 6 minute change at Motherwell to get the same 17:18.

You'd need to be nippy....Airbles is just one big road...It wont be that busy, you don't get big crowds up here unless its at the bigot grounds.

Hi Mikey

 

[classic33]

Faculties?

Those an'all!

Who didn't want to build something like this though? Three feet high and just short of five foot in length. Considered one of the easier ones!

 

[MikeG]

I was always happy building the actual construction, but then trying to pick something up with those cranes inevitably led to some pulley turning/ slipping on its axle when it shouldn't have, and all the boring string-threading would come adrift. PITA.....

 

[Shut Up Legs]

I used to work at the Garden Island Naval Base in Sydney, and they have this large Meccano crane there. They must have had fun building that one!

 

[classic33]

I preferred women

You could have built your own life size model

Electro magnet or one of the many grabs they had plans for!
