Interactive Models for Meccano Exhibitions
To touch or not to touch: That is the question.
It is very apparent that younger children (and older ones up to and beyond retirement age) thrive on active participation at Meccano exhibitions, be it by winding a handle, pushing a button or other means of making a model work. This page has been set up to enable Meccano constructors from all over the world to share their ideas about interactive models. Models on this web page can be simple or complicated, hand operated or motorized, computer steered, but the idea is that the visitor MUST interact with the model for something to happen.
We urge readers to contribute a photo and if possible a short video of their interactive model(s). Please include your email address. Before you do so, please look at the index below to see if the same, or similar model is not already featured on the website.
Please send pictures (JPG) and video (MP4 or MOV) of models of an interactive nature to NZFMM Webmaster or Roland Jaspers
