yeah, erector set. i had three finally i think. i spent hours with them. the first thing i made was in the book. after that i winged it. cranes, trucks and a cable car.

the first engine i had apart was an old maytag. dad gave it to me. i took it all apart and got it running with a little cleaning and a piece of nylon hose over the fuel intake where the screen had rotted away.

when we moved away from greencastle dad left it in the crawl space. i occasionaly think of stopping by and asking if it is still there.
