A Buggy from the 2013 Dump Truck Set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. A Steam Wagon based on models which appeared in manuals between 1928 and 1937. A rather more modern E20R motor has been fitted instead of one of its rather similar predecessors. It also has better bodywork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brian has built a twin engined Bi-plane based on a model in 1928-1935 manuals. He has made a few improvements including Stokys propellers. The Meccano Aeroplane Constructor Outfits included similar but smaller ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The models at the bottom of the page were exhibited at Hainault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click on them for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northwestmeccano.co.uk\/wpimages\/wp28ae9904_05_06.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northwestmeccano.co.uk\/wpimages\/wp1844b6dc_05_06.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northwestmeccano.co.uk\/wpimages\/wpeeaf941a_05_06.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northwestmeccano.co.uk\/wpimages\/wp5fc686de_05_06.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northwestmeccano.co.uk\/wpimages\/wp118cd6fb_05_06.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northwestmeccano.co.uk\/wpimages\/wp17004304_05_06.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northwestmeccano.co.uk\/wpimages\/wpa51086a1_05_06.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northwestmeccano.co.uk\/wpimages\/wp849aabeb_05_06.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paper Folding Machine.
