Meccano is a metal construction set consisting of nuts, bolts, strips, girders, brackets, wheels, axles, motors, gears and pulleys. It's a kids toy ... it's an adult hobby. You can make simple models like the "Garden Bench" ... you can make amazingly complex models like a 2 metre tall working dockside crane.
See Meccano Home Page (MeccanoNet) for more details.
