Meccano Magazine was a highly influential British monthly publication that ran from 1916 until 1982, serving as an extension of the iconic Meccano construction system brand.
More than just a promotional tool, the magazine became a comprehensive journal for young engineering enthusiasts and model builders. While it prominently featured Meccano models, including instructions and design ideas, it also covered a vast range of non-Meccano topics such as trains, cars, ships, aircraft, and general scientific and engineering news. It was known for its detailed technical drawings and articles that fostered an interest in practical mechanics and technology among generations of boys (and many girls) across the UK and the Commonwealth.
The magazine played a significant role in popularizing Meccano, Dinky Toys, and Hornby trains, making it a beloved piece of 20th-century British popular culture dedicated to inventive play and technical education. Here is a collection of Meccano Magazine covers from the 1930s.
