The last Meccano factory in the world is closing.

What a lost opportunity. Lego before there was a Lego and clearly despite attempts to move with the times it failed.

The only surprise?

There was still a Meccano factory in 2023!

@JohnPhilpin Lego could have bought it, developed it, and called it Lego Metal.

@JohnPhilpin You’re probably right.

@odd could you just record this three words for me and send over the sound file please. I want to set it as my new ring tone 🤪

@JohnPhilpin ☺️
