Here is our French display crane pictured with its little brother the retail version to give some indication of scale. There is more information on our website, HERE , where I have just uploaded an article about the refurbishment of this unusual model. There are also some much bigger photographs to look at!




If you have seen this model anywhere in the past I would be interested to hear...

Ralph.

Wow, that's a big one! That's great. I know a little boy who would love that, and a big boy too come to that!

Two great models, when you build something do you keep it assembled or just show it for a while and then disassemble it??

Cranes a beauty and some interesting stuff on the website.

Meccano is another one of the greatest  toys ever, along with the likes of Lego IMO.
