Note from Stan (May 2025)

As most are aware, Ashok is no longer manufacturing his high quality reproduction Meccano parts that were supplied throughout Australia and NZ by Stan Baker for over 10 years.
Stan does still have good stocks of many items on hand, par-ticularly the very useful “non-standard” (ns) items, but there are some gaps. Examples of well stocked items include all sizes and colours of circular rings, strips, girders and hub disks. Similarly, there are many flat plates (many extra-large ns size), angle girders, narrow parts, tyres and most brass items. Standard nuts and bolts in zinc only are available but longer bolts are available in zinc and brass.
Stan advises that it is not practicable to publish a list of the thousands of parts in stock. Interested buyers should just send a spreadsheet of wants and he can advise pricing if available. Prices are generally within 15% of the 2015 price list, and Ex-cel or PDF copies of that list can be supplied on request.


There are a few general hints.

• Shop around. You will find there is wide variety of prices.

• Be wary of postal charges, particularly on heavy lots from the UK.

• Second hand dealers in the UK are a very economical source of parts.

• There are many excellent manufacturers of non standard and reproduction parts that are an ideal solution to modeling problems.

• The current range of sets can often be bought from retail chains. Again shop around.

• Get to know your local club, you can get good advice there.
