Lego !!!!! Just shows what babies you all are.
I had a Meccano set with real nuts and bolts, levers axles etc. and a
metho powered little steam engine to drive the things I built.
Imagine the fun lawyers would have with a little steam boiler in the
lounge room in the hands of a child today.
I believe Meccano sets in good condition sell for mega $'s these days
at auction.
Ah - the old Mammod steam engine (I think that's what they were
called). I found mine in the attic of my mother's house when I was in
the UK in June. I too played with Meccano at an early age. Never really
got into Lego, though my younger brother did (and of course my son).
