Has anyone got these to hand?
I have them somewhere... but they are in a box full of like 100 Meccano magazines, and I don't want to go through every page of every single one 
Thanks!!

I don't have a full set of loom plans but I do have something in one of my magazines that should give you enough info to make one.
I'll try and remember to dig it out when I get home tonight.

No worries.
Advice? Good luck
Seriously though,
It's says set number 8 plus a few parts will build it.
I can't pick the era, but I'd say a Red/Green set number 8 would be the one.
Problem might be the cost.
Does my head in looking at those instructions. Just spent about 4hrs trying to build a 4 speed gearbox and ran into troubles.
Besides, it was turning out bigger than the MEC1
