Until recently I hadn't bought (or been given) any Meccano for the past 40 years. I wanted to buy some original Meccano for my kids but wasn't sure what condition it would be in and couldn't find a video or review to answer this question. Now that I've bought some online I thought it might be helpful to upload a short video, so here it is.

I already had a few odd bits of Meccano (source unknown) that are stamped Made in England and I'm assuming my new purchases are of more recent vintage. Feel free to comment with any useful information. Thanks.
