What goes around...

The French made No7 set of the late '80s is a bit of a throw back to the early '60s as the pictures below show. There are a few differences but the sets are very similar. The French made set is numbered 7 and not 6 because in the 70's Meccano discontinued the original No 9 set and 'promoted' all the other sets up one number doing away with the No 0 set
