B.C. Meccano Modellers

The BCMM is a small group of hobbyists located in the Vancouver B.C. area. Our club is operated by members who formed the group in 2014 because we all have the common interest and are currently active in building models with Meccano. We are basically modellers who get together to share our interests and experiences. We share our interest through this web-site and display our efforts at local shows and events.

Constructor Quarterly, c/o Robin Johnson, 17 Ryegate Road, Crosspool, Sheffield S10 5FA, ENGLAND. Robin has e-mail: RobinCQHQ@aol.com

This is the fanciest and consequently the most expensive newsletter. It's also the best!

On the right is a sample colour cover of a past issue. Click on the image to see an enlarged illustration. Recent issues have comprised 56 pages, printed on high quality glossy paper with heavy covers. Several new models are published in each issue complete with many high quality coloured illustrations.

CQ also publishes special publications, e.g. "Zkwyx Meccanaut" which is a collection of Bernard Périer's novelty model plans.
