Books published by publisher New Cavendish Books, Ltd.

A collection of over 400 complete Meccano Magazine articles and features, including the complete year for 1936. Meccano was an English monthly hobby magazine. It was originally aimed at Meccano builders and featured articles on Meccano construction and new Meccano developments. When Frank Hornby launched the Meccano Guild in 1919, the magazine carried regular Guild news to keep Meccano clubs informed of each others activities. But over time Meccano Magazine became a general hobby magazine aimed at "boys of all ages." Aside from Meccano related articles, it also featured Hornby trains, Dinky Toys and other products of Meccano Ltd, plus a wide variety of general interest articles, including, engineering, aircraft, trains, modelling, camping, photography and philately. Commonwealth countries always featured strongly in articles as Meccano Ltd exported its products to these countries. ~~ The magazines today are an excellent source of historic information and an invaluable aid to collectors of toys from the 1920s through the 1960s, including dollhouse furniture, model trains and related collectibles, children's riding cars, and more. ~~ These large glossy pages are better quality than the original magazines. Where necessary, lay-outs were changed so that the articles are complete within this lay-out and size.
