This traditional concept has evolved hugely from Sir Frank Hornby's 1907 brainchild. The original idea remains the same, with nut and bolt style construction, children can build either from structured instructions, or from their own imagination. The parts can then be easily disassembled, and rebuilt into more complex designs as skills develop. Where so many other building systems use predominantly plastic parts, Meccano have managed to retain the quality metal parts which won't wear or break. Now these Meccano sets often come with working electric motors, some even with radio control capability. MECCANO has managed to keep its products developing a century long in order to continually meet children's expectations.
Meccano Xtreme Dragster (815820)
As creative as ever, Meccano has launched a brand new range for the 7/12 year age group; Meccano Xtreme, which uses a faster and easier construction system. The innovation is in the new threaded metal bars: the screw thread is integrated. No more bolts which were often too tricky for the young hands to manipulate. The screws fit quickly straight into the metal bars. Xtreme still bears the unmistakable Meccano stamp. The threaded bars are entirely compatible with the old perforated strips. At any time the children can customise the vehicles suggested or do away with the instructions and make up new more ingenious and handsome models. Xtreme is a dynamic, flashy new line which jostles standards! It mixes metal and plastic in a novel way and lets you build fast functional cars. Fluorescent, orange, turquoise blue, green, red and transparent, the new plastic pieces are coloured and give the vehicles a totally extreme look! more...
