In addition to the 'Children with Rocking Horse' and the 'Boy with Train Set' there was a third (9d) stamp of a 'Girl with Doll's House' which I need to complete the set.
The 2003 series of Classic Transport Toys included this:-
Great Britain - 18 September 2002
It doesn't seem 65 years ago that I had a Meccano set (I wonder what happened to it) with which I spent many happy hours. I never built a plane with it, as far as I can remember.

Wow - that is a big rocking horse!
I seem to remember building bridges and archways with our Meccano set. (I say 'our' as It probably belonged to my much older brother and by the time I was ready for it, he had outgrown it)
I don't recall seeing the xmas stamp with the boy with the railway, nor do I have the middle value.
'Snap' on the Meccano stamp.
I only remember the rocking horse stamp. I liked looking at the ambitious projects available to make with meccano but never built any.
I remember having a rocking horse.
Bob these are just great! I still have a rocking horse out back for the children to ride!
