First presented in 1928, the massive block-set crane is among the most well-known Meccano super models. I created a scale model of this model with all of the working functions, which are manual rather than motor-driven. I'm not sure if such a crane now or has ever existed in Stokys' native Switzerland.

I rebuilt this steam locomotive in the style of a Marklin maxi model Emma. Also, the tree trunk wagon, crane wagon and luggage wagon have been put together to Marklin's example. I disassembled and restored a faulty Maxi train to use as the locomotive chassis.. The motor is the original Marklin 12Volt DC, power from the tracks. The parts used are renovated Meccano, Marklin and Stokys, some of th...

Among steam model builders, Gerry's beam engine is a widely used design. This one is driven by an old M1 Stokys motor and was constructed using Stokys parts. Meccano only refers to the flywheel and a few smaller components . Since the motor makes a lot of noise, I kept the audio in this movie to a minimum. Its attractive appearance effectively displays all of the functional aspects of these eng...

I have always wanted to build a Meccano clock, for me the ultimate chalenge. This is a model plan from an old Meccano magazine. The clock is fairly easy to build, but difficult to adjust properly. Once this is accomplished, it runs fine. Because I didn't use the right gears, the clock is’nt running on time, but I am very satisfied with the mechanism.

The model is based on a photograph of a German 'halbbalancier' steam engine build in 1847. It is a simple to build steam engine with all main features visible.

Fun to build model. Various possibilities to improve this model. Plenty of room underneath the bonnet for RC control of motor and steering. Chassis will take a small differential and gearbox. A rubber front wheel for better running is recommended.

A realistic model from the 1949 set 9 manual, driven by clockwork motor no 2, made in nickel and red parts. It is'nt powerful enough though to lift the middle section completely, so I replaced it by a geared 6 V motor. Building is not that difficult. Fitting the hoisting cords need special attention to lift the bridge in an up-right position.

I was recently able to purchase the Meccano special edition set. It has now been 25 years since it was introduced. The crane is easy to build, but the model looks a bit clumsy and the operation is basic. However, the design can serve well to make it in Stokys. This model looks and works more refined.

Meccano Model of a fully hand-operated 'portable' railway crane, designed by Rob Mitchell. It is built from the instructions of ModelPlan 206, but has also been printed in the Sheffield Meccano Guild Magazine (October 2013). A fun-to-build, appealing model. For the instructions, see: www.meccanoindex.co.uk/SMG/smg_ind.php?Mag=SMGJ118_Oct2013&Mpage=40&MtypeNo=0&AuthorNo=0&Stext=crane&page=1

Based on the Meccano model plan of a Midland 4-2-2 loco, this model has been made mostly with Stokys parts. Powered by a N20 6 V geared motor and controlled by an infrared controller. The train runs on Märklin gauge 1 track. www.meccanoindex.co.uk/Mmanuals/1922/Manuals/1-26-06-10'5.pdf

This Meccano model of a steam excavator or mechanical digger is based on the 1929 super modelplan. Instead of the original Meccano steam engine of that era, which I do not own, I made use of the Kleinemeier 'sort-of' replica. The model represents functional levers controlling the engine, hoisting, racking, slewing and traveling motions. www.meccanoindex.co.uk/Mmanuals/Other/Manuals/SML-19a-29-1...
