Meccano started me off in my engineering career in the late 50’s, used to love the gears and mechanisms. Didn’t know it was still around

Frank Hornby a hero of mine. This is where all my pocket money went

Excellent video. No stressing music, just the noise of people talking (including kids). Meccano, along with Radio-Shack's 65 in 1 were my favorite toys !!!!

An enjoyable event that is sadly missed by many including me.

What a brilliant show, this takes me back to the 1950s when I was lucky enough to build up to a no 10 Meccano Kit. Many Thanks.

Outstanding models and especially nice video. Not jerky or quick views like so many others. There was enough time to actually see how each model worked. Nice job.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for sharing. The best gift my parents ever gave me. It shaped my future.

Simply brilliant. Loved the Shay and Heisler, but espescially the Laxey Wheel. And I won't ask how he got it there.

I hope one day to fly over seas and to come enjoy a Meccano show at some point in my life. Thanks or taking the time to give each and every builder credit.

Real engineering on a small scale.

thanks for sharing London Meccano Club

Many very impressive models, and nice video recording too.

I had a simple set growing up

Excellent video. Thanks.

Nice!

Who spotted the little tyke at the start, meddling with the exhibit !

@ 27:00 that is a shay loco , not a heisler. heisler has the steam engines on a 45 degree angle . otherwise a jaw dropping model.

5:42 All those nuts and bolts and washers! Do you have to put up warning signs around the neighborhood: choking hazard! No small children within 1000 yards!?
