A look around the North Eastern Meccano Society's exhibition held in St Cuthbert's Church Hall, Darlington on 5th October 2024. A fantastic array of detailed engineering from Meccano enthusiasts both young and old. Among the mechanical treasures were a robot, a computer controlled crane, an "Owl and the Pussy-Cat" phantasmagoria, and a fully working scratch built model of a Zamboni (ice rink resurfacer) by David Owst. Plus lots more wonderful working models ...

มุมมอง 335ปีที่แล้ว
In the last couple of months several long-standing buildings have been demolished at Bank Top in Darlington, these include The Grey Horse pub and East End Club. This is to make way for the new railway station buildings at a cost of £100 million, around the price of buying Harry Kane!
Wonderful to see that Meccano is still active with hobbyists. I used to enjoy building the models in set 5 in the 1960's. Thanks for the presentation 👌
Thanks for the comment, it was 60's the last time I built with Meccano, but never anything as good as this!
Superbe .👍
Thanks
