Battery Man
Built by Dick Watson in March 2010
“They made me traipse all the way to Maplin, and when I got there they said that they don’t sell 126 batteries any more."
“I appeared in the Meccano Magazine some years ago (as ‘Carry your Batteries, Sir?'). My EMEBO motor could not be found so I now have a more powerful one, which meant that my drive mechanism had to be changed. My legs have been strengthened with doubled 5½” slotted strips and 2½” ones (one from MW Models and one Steel-Tec)."
