I found it nearly impossible (well almost) to buy old style Meccano (you
know with a multitude of bits you could make into anything). Instead it
seemed to be all kits you could make into ONE specific thing (Action man
was the same, no 1 Action man and 50 uniforms it was a separate Action
man for each activity). I had to go off the beaten path to find Neccano
that was just parts.

My problem exactly. I got a number 4 set for Christmas one year (back in
the 1950s) and each week I bought a bit more to make it into a no. 5.
Then a 6 ... 7 ... 8 ... 9 ... 10! Couldn't afford the nice caninet
though.

If a no. 10 set was available in a cabinet now, I might just buy it.
