Observations - by Jim Picton
Our March meeting got under way around 1:00 PM at Fred's place with the usual lot attending.
Dugan Porter made a road trip to Canada from Seattle, Wa. to meet up with "some actual Meccano people" that appear to be non-existent in his area.

Brian brought along his Tower Crane (much discussed on 'Spanner' with all it's problems), but his was working quite well after several modifications.

And we can not forget this month's Meccano Challenge. Drag Car Racing. This was out first attempt at this sort of thing and the response shows that we should have another. It was nice to see how people think when modelling as no two cars were the same.
