Hi, I have been researching the history of my two family names and I have discovered a link with a one time editor of your `Maccano Magazine', Hubert Lansley who started the `Stamp Collector's Weekly' which became the `Maccano Engineer'. In 1923, I understand, Mr Ellison Hawks then asked him to join the Maccano Magazine team and his was with them I believe, until 1930. My maternal Grandfather, Robert Henry Strickland, Principal of Ellis and Co., makers of Cailler's Chocolates, was a travelling companion of Mr.Frank Hornby on a Voyage from New York to Liverpool via Nova Scotia, on the R.M.S. Lapland. Regards, John Seymour-Lansley |

I`m new in the Web, and as an former Meccano fan (I was born 1957)was gratefully surprise to find out that there is still so much happening around (serious) Meccano-constructing. I still owe an (aprox.) N°9 [from 1968]+ motorized set (the one with the 6-gear yellow e-motor), but many of my parts are damagged or dented. Thanks to your Website, hope to become parts is rising again in me. I will take my time to search for all the wonderfull information that you offer. Thanks a lot! |

What a lovely informative site ! congratulations,it is obvious the amount of dedication that you have put in,thanks for sharing the wonderful world of meccano,despite the computer age its still timeless,I like Meccano aeroplanes and the Camel is on my list to build some time,it cap[tures the character of this famous aeroplane. Just re-kindled my interest since my father has left me a large collection to add to my own extensive set. I have an eleven foot span De Havilland Dragon Rapide aeroplane in Meccano,somewhere I have a picture and will put this on the pictures page soon,it took me several months to build and breaks apart into sections to store! Keep up the wonderful work that you are doing to promote Meccano,as long as there are enthusiasts then Frank Hornbys legend will never die,what a man he must have been to have all that foresight,the longevity of Meccano is a tstimony to his name. Best Wishes,Barry Clay |

Great Site - some good models - The Somerville Triple is upo to Eric Taylor Standards - congratulations. My interest is fine scale models - cranes - blocksetters (real ones not the cliche Cover model - more like the Santa Cruz proportion) - dockyard cranes -(Cowans) and railway steam breakdown cranes - Craven and Cowans. My childhood heros were That Gut Willens from Amsterdam - Coltman the crane man from Loughborough - Eric Taylor - and some guy from Wellingtom NZ who did a D9 Cat. Anyway - anyone want to swap technical stuff about the model subjects above - OK. Best regards. BrUce Ward |

Does anyone out there have any pictures/plans of the simple plastic meccano models (I recall swings, pushchairs, wheelbarrows and the like). If so, I should be vary grateful to receive a scanned version. I have recently dug out my old plastic bits (yellow strips, blue bolts, red brackets etc.) in anticipation of my little boy being old enough to enjoy it as I did many years ago! |

Hi Meccano fans, I am currently trying to find any outlets that sell the meccano range of components particularly in the Stoke on Trent area could anybody please help... Having the younger generation so tranfixed by their non-mindo games consoles is unhealthy and I want to find something that will not only give them enormous satisfaction in creating something for themselves (Something that todays consoles do nothing to promote) and hopefully give them an appreciation for engineering and sciences through this still remarkable kit ... Having not seen any Meccano sets for sale in latter years I am saddened at the apparent loss of this vastly educational modeling medium... |

I am looking for a shop in the Bristol area who sell meccano, any ideas. Two grandsons to buy sets for this Christmas. Tried toy shops in Keynsham and Harrogate, and non seemed to stock it. Can you still purchase metal mecano, if so where. Having three brothers who each had sets when young who have turned into a Consultant Electrical Engineer, a Physisist and a top computer bod, I thought I'd try to encourage the next generation to have fun while at the same time learning. Can anyone help. JS |

dear all i have been a very active meccano model maker since early child hood,my father since the 2nd world war, we built a demonstation model of our new revolutionary engine out of meccano this was to prove the timing theory before we actually made a full working prototype meccano proved invaluble as a mechanical learning tool as well as a good proving ground for our engine hope you get as much enjoyment from your sets as we do ours laurie & john archer |

Hello, I found your site really amazing. It is so nice to share these great acts of imagination with the rest of us. However, my message is about my 12 year old boy who would like to build something that walks as Mark Peters also requested on May 17th 2001. Since I am really hopeless in giving him any useful ideas, it would be nice if some of you wanted to share your science with a dreamer. If it is not too much trouble repeating again what you might have said to Peter. Thanks for your help. If anything comes out of this, we are sure to share it with you. Claire |

Greetings from Australia. Delighted to find such an array of Photos on the web. I would love if anyone has photos and detail of any clocks. I made one years ago from a design in the Meccano magazine- probably vintage 1960 or thereabouts ( give or take a few years.) Can anyone there help? If I have any masterpieces over coming monbths I'll send them through - don't hold your breath though! Regards, John Link, 128, Mill Hill Road, Bondi Junction,NSW 2022, Sydney Australia. |

Very best of luck with your project; what next ?? Cheers - Mike D - ex-RAF helo pilot. |

Could I get the email address for Roger Poulet, the builder of the Rorailer. A fellow engineer is designing a wheel to go on tracks (rails) and road. We have been looking at Roger's Rorailer and we wonder if it was intended to go on road and rail without modification between uses. We think it uses a 3" pully with a 3" tire for the road but the rail wheel has us beat. It looks like a 4" circular plate (146A) but we can't figure out the load bearing part. It looks like a 3.5" circular girder but my Meccinv only shows a 5.5" circular girder. Otherwise the rail wheel could be a few formed slotted strips clamped in place, a bit bumpy though. We would love to hear from Roger Poulet. Frank Curry Toronto Canada |

A beautiful modell wich give me much enjoyment by building and satisfaction by finishing, and that for a scale modell with a restricted amount of pieces and minimal bending of strips and plates. For motoring I took the solution placing the motor in de rear fuselage and I used the Meccano motor removed from his caging gently squeezed between strips and bolts. |

I have been looking to resurrect my childhood passion for Meccano for some time, an everlasting regret is that I sold my enormous 2 x No10 set + (for next to nothing) some years ago, and I wish to give my 5 year old son the same kick- start that Meccano gave me. I wish to purchase a preferably large, or small, Meccano set and would be very interested to hear from any prospective vendors. Great site, keep up the good work, see you all at Skegex 2000 Dave Mawbey |

Hi, really enjoyed your website, which I stumbled across while looking for info for my 6-year-old. He has several Erector Jr. (plastic) sets and would really like to build a train. Are there any sites directed toward kids and the plastic-type models? When he's old enough, he definitely will graduate to the real thing. thank you |

Dear sirs or madamme, I grew up with erector sets here in America, but only last weekend discovered Meccano with my kids. What a kick! FAR superior to erectors. Who would have ever thought to make the strips FLAT so they could be bent! I made the (what looks like a...) Morgan in the 2/3 book. Never could have made the fenders with AC Gilbert's girders! Anyway, as you may have figured, I've got an English set. I've got the "1", the "2/3", the "4/5/6" and the "Junoir power drive set" booklets, and about enough pieces to be a 4/5/6 kit. The stuff looks to be about 25-30 years old. I would like to get more pieces and/or sets. I would prefer the English sets as most of my pieces say "made in England" on them. Specifically, I'm looking for two #187 road wheels, two #199 curved plate,u-sections, and a #26 pinion. As well, lots of extra bit parts. Do you have any suggestions? I live in Colorado,USA. Thank you in advance for your kind attention, Dan Tulenko |

Dear Sir/Madam, I am currently studying for a G.C.S.E in engineering. For my major project I have to make a device to punch holes in sheet aluminium. Please can you send me any information that may be relevant to the topic of hole punching. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely Liam Richardson |

Chris..Are you going to create a PDF download file for the Fokker DVII as you did for your previous models in the library.I find it real handy to be able to view the pictures beside the text.Maybe you can do that with the zip files but I have not mastered that yet.I built the Sopwith Camel it was a great model.Cheers Mike Shaw |

Great to see traditional 'toys' being supported in this way - so nice that there's no electronics or - um - internet - getting in the way. My father bought three draws-full of second hand Meccano when I was little (c.1960's) - don't know if it was for me or him! Pity it had to be sold when he died. I wonder where it is now? |

I was interested to see that there is so much relating to the subject on the net, being both new to Meccano and modern methods of communication. I was wondering how much Meccano I would need to build a scale model of the Forth Rail Bridge, where I would obtain it from, and whether any plans are available. Any information regarding the above would be much appreciated. |

I really like the way you have written up your instructions. I just hope that the parts list is accurate. I have enough parts to build this model, but after building the 2-cylinder motorcycle engine (model 10-16), I may be short in some areas. I certainly plan to build this model. Dennis Caswell |

I agree, it's the best I have seen in the Meccano-community and an excellent web-design as well. Congratulations! |

Excellent page Chris. I've being looking for plans for a decent bi-plane to get me back into modelling (to keep my Meccano Aeroplane Constructors Kit Bi-Plane company!) and this looks just the ticket. Will let you know how I get on. Many thanks for making the effort to share this with everyone. |
