Still not yet complete, but the basics are there. Could all those who wanted to have their link in the links page repost, as someone seems to have deleted my topic 
www.freewebs.com/simonscollections
Leave a message in the guestbook as well

You're off to a good start, MTA!  Now, wasn't there another item for your railroad section...a coal shovel, maybe? Did you win that?

Someone pipped me too the post. It wasnt listed on ebay, it was a sale on another site  But the man selling it said if he ever got any other stuff I'd be the first to know

I had 3 at one time. At least, they were definately coal shovels...not sure if they were from an actual engine. They all had shaped wooden grip and were short. There they sat in my resale shop's front window, I thought they were neat, but no-one ever even asked about them. Believe I kept at least one...if interested I'll look for it, you could have it - except for postage, of course.

A pic would be good, postage would be the death of me (or should that be debt?)

Yeah, kinda thought it might not be worth the postage...I'll "dig" around and try to get a pic anyway.

I like all the updates, and the pics! But I think you particularly mean the Meccano
crane, and it is very nice, indeed! Now, let's see, the boom is raised and lowered
by means of a hand crank...hand crank, no, you want it to run on steam! 
(I see this is your intention, but I couldn't resist)

I would like my MM1 to sit on top, but it only runs in one direction Hopefully in the future some better pics as my sister is getting a link cable for my phone to connect to the computer for christmas, I have some good pics on there as well Plus a vid of a railway... I'm just trying to think of an engine that will sit on top, as I want it to rotate etc
