QUOTE: Tim Gant

While still at school Tim was already in the front rank with a portfolio of patents and innovations. More remarkable still is that after exile to Cambridge he returned to the club in full vigour, unsuborned by lesser pursuits. Is the credit due to him or to Meccano? Tim is a Meccano schizophrenic; both purist and radical experimenter - fortunately in separate models! In purist mode Tim adheres scrupulously to Binns Road, yet with each model he breaks new ground with novel applications of old parts. In the other, Tim is the leading expert on the rolling chassis and the pioneer of radio control in Meccano. He feels that this last endeavour is under-appreciated; perhaps he is ahead of his time. But mark my words: Tim Gant will one day be the next Dr Keith Cameron.

QUOTE: For many people, the name Binns Road was, and still is, synonymous with the products of Frank Hornby's company. The mythological status of Binns Road is helped by the fact that the factory didn't exist before Hornby designed it and had it built, and was demolished a little while after the company was taken over. As a result, Binns Road, constantly name-checked on the back covers of Meccano catalogues and booklets, became a sort of shorthand in customers' minds for a strange magical place where all these products originated.

QUOTE: Obituary: There is only one way to describe Keith Cameron (d. 1999) - he was unique. Keith had three major loves in his life - his wife Mura & family, his strong religious beliefs, and his Meccano. We can all be grateful for the latter, as Keith was not just a man who designed brilliant models, he also made sure that they were preserved for posterity, by writing full instructions for them, and submitting them for publication to several of the private Meccano publications that now exist. For all this work, he never asked for, nor did want to receive, a penny in payment in return.
