I think a D32 would power it nicely

I think that could certainly be made from Meccano. It's very similar stuff.

James, for some reason PB is playing up so can't see the plans and I can't be bothered to go look for them here  

But I remember special extra parts being needed. Said it in the text of the plans.

Was this one of them??

Part 101?

Here's some on ebay. Not saying to buy them, but might be able to make them yourself.

I'm thinking there must have been a proper Meccano plans loom (by meccano) for them to bring that part out

No idea mate. I wouldn't buy them, but make them if you need to.

I'll check it out tomorrow  

Only came across them by accident the other day
