Hi Guys,

We went to the HTMC meeting on Saturday and here is a shot of our display. There will be a lot more photos on our website this evening, www.my-meccano.co.uk  The large crane is a display model built by the Meccano factory in France.

The 6ft long jib in the foreground is for our latest model of a Scotch Derrick crane that will be finished for Meccanuiity 09 this weekend in Ironbridge. Part of the  16ft long model of the Forth Bridge can be seen in the background.

Ralph.

Even the chairs are Meccano, by the looks of it
