Today I rediscovered an old Meccano Magazine from 1942 in my drawers. Back in the 1950s the
Meccano Magazine was a highlight I looked forward to receiving with news of new additions to the Hornby Dublo 00 gauge trains and new Dinky toys. Even this wartime edition has lots of interest in it. The size was obviously reduced in WW2 to conserve paper as it was considerably larger when I had in in the 1950s. The entire series of Meccano magazine is available free online. See
http://meccano.magazines.free.fr/ . Individual pages or whole magazines are available as pdfs.
Hello Roger,
ReplyDeleteMy father had Meccano. I also have played with it when I was about 10 years.
I started on the age of 6 with lego.
