Several times a year I put on a display of Meccano Models at the Museum of Power, Langford, near Maldon, Essex. The buildings were originally an important pumping station for the local water company and housed three Marshal triple expansion steam engines one of which has been restored and in now operated by compressed air. I try to put on a display that has a broad appeal to those who had Meccano as a child and today's children. Its always amzing how many older men came up and say they were retired engineers and originally got interested in this subject through having a Meccano set. The pictures show the display on Easter Sunday March 23 2008. There were 8 working models running most of the day. Also a clockwork windmill and a hand operated "Executive Toy".
