Hi Guys
Just found you, so I though I would pop in and say hello. I have a couple of old 1929 Meccano vertical steam engines and one of the later models. They are all for using! Rather than go on at length here, I have written it all up on our website. There is a bit about the engines HERE
There is all sorts of other stuff on the site including a report on the Magic of Meccano show at Kew Bridge Steam Museum last weekend.
I hope you enjoy it. I will post some of our models here soon for you all to see.
Ralph.

Thought your name seemed familiar, then when I read your article on shooting photos and you mentioned woodworking it all came back to me.

Was that the photography or the woodworking? The two hobby's can work together, I once wrote an article for a woodworking magazine about steam bending wood!
