A full report of our February 2013 meeting can be expected in the next Runnymede Meccano Guild Magazine. For now, here is a taster…
This was the first meeting to be held at our new venue, Lyne Village Hall and a great success it was with over 80 persons present — quite a challenge for our caterers, who rose to the task admirably.
Despite the larger hall and more tables all table space was filled with models etc. Here are just a few examples:
Firstly, a fine tractor from Roger West…
John Rogers showed us his impressive Harmsworth Trophy Speedboat.
As well as one of his signature fairground rides James Plicio had brought along this rather splendid ship.
Here's Howard Somerville's Tumbling Engine…
A couple of quartz clocks from Stephen Jeavons…
A Burrell steam crane from Pete Evans…
Joe Wilson's fun clockwork locomotive…
