Probably more correctly called a carousel, this model is a combination of two Meccano Magazine models, in the issues for February 1956, a non-outfit model, and a no. 7 set model from March 1961. It combines the 12½" square base and 2½"...

This is a close copy of model 2.28 in the 1954-62 outfit no. 2 manual. I've always thought it doesn't really look like a "proper" breakdown crane. But in issue 79 (Summer 2011) of the quarterly Great Western Journal Magazine there was an article on ...

I made this model 30 years ago when I was inspired by an advert for Perrier where the French word eau (water) was substituted for an 'o' in the caption, such as Eauasis , Picasseau . I gave my bottle the caption Meccaneau .

One of many, and eclipsed by all the other big, super-duper ones brought. But capable of being hung on the Christmas Tree.

Just when 2011 was bringing to an end what had already turned out to be my busiest year ever in terms of building and exhibiting new Meccano models, in mid-December I decided to cram in just one more. Unfortunately, due a growing series of constructio...

This model is taken from plans published in Constructor Quarterly by Andreas Konkoly in 1992 and it builds well, except for one area, the chimney stack construction, which relies on bending plastic plates to an acute angle. This causes many breakag...

A clock based loosely on one in the 1930 set 4-7 manual. It incorporates a few changes suggested in an article I found on the Meccanopedia website and a couple of my own. It will only run for 2-2.5 hours on a winding and this appears to be down to th...

Someone on Spanner or another of the Meccano forums pointed out that a plastic 19-tooth pinion fits inside the plastic drive 'sprocket' (cylinder) and engages with pre-moulded teeth making a non-slip union between the parts. As far as I can see Meccano...

Built from the 1928 super model leaflet SML-3, using mainly 1950's green parts, with a few minor changes. The tyres I believe to be original rubber rings as they were among the meccano I received as a child and are showing signs of perishing. I had nev...
