While XMass shopping found at the local 'Toys From The Past' a late 50's early 60's 'Girder and Panel' building set from my youth. Essentially complete but many of the thin plastic pieces brittle from age. Went on e-bay and picked up replacements, and a lot of extra girders, black instead of red plastic but who cares. Me and Grandson are building a huge suspension bridge. 5.5foot long hung twin roadway, 3 foot tall twin towers with crossovers, and rigging. Just memories from my past............... Will post pics when done. He is a little engineer and is learning stress, flex and wobble issues. Not only a construction toy a learning exercise. -------------
