That is fantastic Mike.
Might have to make one myself. That way I can run my Mobiles more often, rather than having to move my car out all the time

Forgot to say this works for a TE1/a too. Next step is to make it fit an SW1. I feel the need for yet more Meccano coming on!  |

Bloody hell Mike that is fantastic
I dont think I have ever been on the Meccano thread before
As I only have 4 girders, so cant make anything
Very impressed Mike, Im gona have to build one of those
If you get time Mike could you make a list of parts needed
Thx .................  |
