Hi Gents, all is not lost. At the museum where I volunteer we were running the old steam and gas engines (only on barring motors, H/S) and there were some young school kids (8/9) watching and asking a few questions. One particularly bright boy who was asking a lot of good questions observed that the toys of his fathers day were much better than computer games! And yes he did have his fathers Meccano!

There is hope!
