Vintage Meccano Magazine Online

[erco]

Worth browsing for a trip down memory lane and maybe to get some project ideas. IIRC Meccano was originally a British toy. There goes my week.

Looks like every page of every issue online, use dropdown menus to select issue and page. use L/R arrows to change pages. I'm looking at "Gargantua", a robotic crane in March 1938, p 172.

Looks like I'll be losing some hours this week ;-)

I sympathize. Wish I would have this during lockdown!

I remember meccano as a kid and I'm 67 now. Got a load of all the bits and motors cogs nuts and bolts for your 5 bucks from what we call a charity shop. I think you call them thrift shops. Lots of handy bits and bobs! Steel is heavy though. We don't have Walmart here, we got screwfix... honest
https://www.screwfix.com. lots of extruded aluminium bars and nut/bolts and other stuff. Daft name
