Supported, great toy is Lego my offspring had loads of fun, now have a great nephew in NZ who’s only 7 and for his age he builds the most amazing Star Wars units — gotta have the engineering gene !

Thank you very much John, that's much appreciated.

Blimey, the the Bugatti Chiron is probably the ugliest dog's breakfast of a car I've ever seen. Makes the Allegro look elegant!

Sorry if I've hurt the feelings of any billionaires out there…

Neil, I'm not a billionare but I agree with you; Etore would be turning in his grave.

Yes, I remember Minibrix – when I was quite small my neighbour Nigel (my hero – his Dad worked for the LNER at Doncaster!) had a set. I had a Bayko set, which I still have. I also had a Brickplayer set at one point – and a lot of fun mixing up the paste – although flour worked quite well too. To get the building apart again you put it in a large bowl of warm water.

Thought this might be of interest to people. Lego released this model of a Ferguson tractor just a couple of months ago. This was a special edition model and limited to just 80 copies produced. I love the vintage style packaging on this. If ever my Traction Engine was produced then I would love the artwork to be designed in this style.

Really pleased to see my Lego Traction Engine is in the latest issue of Model Engineer.
