FANS of one the world's most enduring toys inspired children and adults with fabulous and far-fetched creations at the weekend.
On Saturday, the North-East Meccano Society's display got even more children and adults hooked on the model-making toy.
The group visited Bishop Auckland's Discovery Centre, where members displayed a range of historic and up-to-date models and were on hand to answer visitors' questions.
Ian Mordue, secretary of the North-East branch said: "We're just people who have been interested in Meccano sets ever since we were young.
"The complexity and engineering side has taken over more as we've got older. But our purpose in life is to try to get through to people the benefits of working with Meccano.
