Large vintage Meccano model of Showman's engine or traction engine
Large Vintage Meccano Model
A large vintage model of a Showman's or Traction engine made entirely from Meccano. The model is accompanied by a free standing advertising board showing the same model and a Meccano brochure.
This model could only be made from Set 10; the most expensive and extensive Meccano set available at the time. Probably 1950s in origin and likely to have been a shop display model.
The model has an electric motor to provide power to make this a working model. I am unsure of the specifications of the motor. The brochure indicates either a 6 volt or 20 volt motor requiring a battery or transformer, neither of which is present.
In nice condition but with evidence of age and use. A stunning decorative piece.
Approximate model dimensions (Max) 75cm x 46cm x 33cm.
Advertising board dimensions 31.5cm x 27.5cm.
Further detailed images available on request.
Enquiries welcome.
