When I recently visited my dad with 4yo and 6yo, he pulled out three “Meccano” sets, mainly in German, from the 1960s or maybe 70s.

Everything is absolutely delightful. The parts are great quality. The boxes are amazing. And the manuals… wow. They’re basically engineering text book excerpts.

Apologies, I don’t know how to get it as one album:
