They take so long to put together that I get reluctant to take them to bits to build something new! Also I have to find the time play. Good toy for a rainy day.


Be like me then Chris, never take them apart and just go buy more second hand Meccano on ebay so you can keep building.


Can you also buy more understanding wives on ebay? Probably best not answer that one!

I don't have the storage space for lots of models, so I will just keep taking them to bits when I want to build a new one.

Sorry can't help you with that one.
I just except I'm going to get told once a week my models are taking up too much space but I get let off as every once and a while some new silver or gold jewellery appears out of my workshop for her and that usually buys me some forgiveness.
