Mere seeing the word or hearing it makes me feel nostalgic. Originally manufactured by a UK firm, they used to advertise it as a toy that grows with the boy. Gender bias, as i would like to feel, should be ignored as the toy is good for boys and girls alike. The company also used to publish a magazine of their own, titled Meccano Magazine which contained wonderful articles and newsletters from all over the world. They also promoted formation of Meccano Clubs in many countries including India. Meccano was my childhood love. Mere seeing the word or hearing it makes me feel nostalgic.
