Welcome to NZMeccano.com

Hi everyone!  Welcome to the new home of NZMeccano.com!  There's all sorts about Meccano on this site available from the buttons above.  Some of the highlights include:

• The Meccano Magazine viewer, over 42,000 pages of this magazine
• The Online Parts Museum, with pictures and history of every part made
• Hundreds of Meccano Manuals in PDF format for download
• The Photo Gallery, where you can upload pictures of anything Meccano-related
• Outfit contents generator, where you print lists of the contents of outfits
• Documents, where you can write your own pages into this site!
• Rust Bucket, a discussion forum for anything Meccano-related.

Dozens of people have helped to create the content on this site, and we're always looking for more pictures and information. If you can help, please contact us by clicking on the "Contact Us" link at the top of the page.

We have recently moved from our awful old web hosts, to a shiny new facility. Some things might have temporarily broken. If there's anything you notice that's not working correctly, please tell us. Or 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.  Ditto if you find any mistakes – we want to make this website as accurate as possible.
