I hadn't heard of that book. Will try to locate a copy.


Over the last two and a half decades a small number of Meccano enthusiasts have made huge progress building orreries. I think it safe to say that the results are the most accurate, non-digital, orreries.


I've built a fair number of other orrery models but haven't uploaded any photographs.
