Empire State Building
Built by Dick Watson in October 2013
In 2012 I visited Criccieth in North Wales and discovered a shop which was selling the biggest selection of Meccano that I have seen for a long time. I brought a Landmarks set on the basis that it looked better value than half a dozen B & M 15 model sets. This is probably the case, although the set contains a lot of 5½” and 2½” strips, but zinc plated ones are not as common as green ones.
Unlike many recent outfit models, this one was quite easy to construct. It has been strengthened a bit using parts from the outfit. The flag came from Dave Taylor.
The biggest model in the set for which instructions are given is one of Tower Bridge.
