Re: Meccano Vs Lego
Ah, I remember the Meccano kits numbered 1-10, getting progressively bigger up the number scale. I had a fair few of them but kit 10 always seemed aspirational and always out of reach. I also had a specialist crane set and a military set with caterpillar tracks and motors. It's all now scattered between my house and my parents loft and lots of it has gone rusty.
Lego and Meccano were different beasts. Meccano felt more like real engineering and no number of interlocking Lego bricks beat the satisfaction of doing some nuts and bolts up really tight!
