Found a couple of pics today whilst looking for something else.    Thought someone might be interested.   I was unable to upload one of the pics so have found a youtube link instead..........Terry

Love the picnic table!
With a set that size, we could make all sorts of fun things!

Hi Willy - that was built by my good friend Derek (Lee) Waghorn.



I watched this grow from the back of an envelope (yes really) over many years. The (Mecano) parts are mainly fibre glass including the dummy nuts and bolts and were all 'distressed' by his wife Sali.
I have other pics of various parts but that will have to wait until later if anyone wants to see them - I'm now off to Downham for the day

Regards Tug

(a very apt phrase - thanks to a well meaning MEM friend)

There is a giant Meccano footbridge in public use at Nob End near Bolton, it is made from 10x scale parts :-
