I know its a bit more money, but it looks better has a proper gearbox aswell and its roughly the same scale too. |
Looks amazing...I can't believe how good Lego has become..I only have some simple Meccano and enjoy that periodically to break up my model railwaying a little but Lego is taking construction modeling to a whole new level . I forget the detail but I recall reading somewhere if they could put every Lego block end to end it would reach some incredible distance ..
You might enjoy this about Meccano too .. This is a beautiful piece of engineering from a while back

There also is many quite realistic large scale locomotives that move and an incredibly cool Aston Martin DB 9 built from Meccano components that must have taken ages ..and numerous functioning syncro mesh gearboxes and even a Lamborghini V12 engine made from Meccano.
So many great options with Lego though and it's a pure joy to see the Lego stuff you guys do within the Lego community ..Fantastic kits literally for all ages from LEGO especially.
We need more LEGO , Meccano , Erector , R/C of all kinds , model making either moving or static , model railways (my thing I guess) , and similar in our lives .
Great hobbies like these are really important in these troubling times to provide welcome distractions I reckon .
This is a great thread and I hope it remains a really popular one . I'm enjoying it immensely anyway .
