I'd like to help them see that Lego Technic
will always be visually superior to Meccano but I doubt they'll ever admit it.

*Visually* superior perhaps, but only because LEGO is more of a sculpting
medium.  Meccano has a definite mechanical advantage due to the strength and
precision it derives from being made of steel, brass, etc.

(...) Meccano hasn't got pneumatics though has it. So I'd say Lego has the pneumatic advantage. Steve (23 years ago, 22-Aug-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.uk)
