So long as she had/has Lego, she'll be fine...

Here in the Northern Lands, we had Erector Sets... same thing as Meccano. I still remember the first suspension bridge I ever built with mine... then cheered when I ran a model railroad over it.
Then wondered why I got shocked when I touched the bridge while the train was moving...

It was all about the Capsela when I was a tyke.
Now that I remember it, I'm kinda nostalgic for the worm gear.

yes, the erector set was where i firt electrocuted meself also. I wanted to put a light on top of it, so i screwed the socket on top and ran the wire down through the frame then plugged it into the wall. Funny, must nicked one of the wires, because when i touched the model, i found i couldn't let go. Kind of a neat feeling to an 8 year old. Maybe it's why i'm a sparky now.
Thank you erector set/meccano.
