Have you allowed your son to go within 3 feet of it yet?

I usually get asked most mornings if I have 'built any more of Cano firetruck ?'
He's only 2 1/2 and cant say Meccano properly yet. |

Yes after 2 days searching I found it stuck down in the gap between my desk and drawers.
That day upset him as my traction engine, accessories and a RC truck I had by my computer all got packed away.

Just bought myself a stack of hard to get parts off Meccanoman so I should have them in a couple of weeks.
This lot will let me finish off the cab, and rear bed, fit the wheels and I splashed out and got a thrust bearing so I can start work on the ladder section too.
Just to refresh your memory this is how the cab looks at the moment.

Its mainly due to how hard it is to get some of the Meccano parts now and the fact a lot of it I get second hand and have to strip and repaint that takes the time.

When I finish this will get back to my Eifel tower and should adapt the lift to steam power. |
Nice

Time for an update.
Building has stopped again as I've run out of flexible strips.
I've rumaged through my parts box and have collected together the parts I need I just need to strip and repaint them before I can use then so that will take me another couple of weeks before I've finished the roof.
Its starting to get big now.
