Welcome to NZMeccano.com

Hi everyone!  Welcome to NZMeccano.com, the home page of the Online Parts Museum and the Christchurch Meccano Club, along with much more information about the Meccano hobby.  We're adding to this website all the time.  Please excuse the missing sections – we'll be adding more and more in the near future.

If you have any comments or suggestions, we'd love to hear from you.  Just click on 'Contact us' above, or post to the 'Rust Bucket' forum by clicking the link to the left!  Ditto if you find any mistakes – we want to make this website as accurate as possible.

Our latest project is a massive one.  The "Parts" page is an attempt to photograph every Meccano part ever made, in every variation.  If we get even some of the way towards achieving this it will be a fantastic reference source for all Meccano enthusiasts.  It's going to need a lot of help from a lot of people, taking photographs of parts.  If you can help, please contact us.
