That's really cool to do.
Did you have the meccano created or is it just available somewhere?

It was all specially manufactured for us by local companies
Even the nuts and bolts are bespoke.

Nice 1
Maybe if you seek contact with the meccano company you could get some sponsorship for other projects.

Nah, Meccano will be way out of copyright by now.
Same for lego, their patent expired about 20 years ago.
Also Meccano would love the publicity.
James may did a bridge a while back and got loads of free bits IIRC.

We have asked James May to open it
but he's a busy man and obviously we can't expect him to stop everything for this. We think it's the kind of thing he'll like very much though.
