MAMOD SP3 MECCANO CRANE LIFTING STEAM WAGONMy Mamod SP3 steam crane i built last year in about half an hour lifting a SW1. It has now been sent to the great Meccano NO 10 set in the sky 
Well i still have some of it so it wouldnt take much to rebuild

That SP3 has had so many uses
Its been in cranes, ski-lifts, plouging engines, steam recovery veichles (with winches etc), test bed for accesories, more cranes, steam excavator, workshops, rail veichles, cars and contrptions that didnt realy do anything
It now has a melted water gauge
