The Magic of Meccano show returns to the Kew Bridge Steam Museum on the weekend of 12th & 13th April. This stunning exhibition in every room and gallery of the museum will be filled with fascinating Meccano working models, some taller than 6ft!
 
Exhibitors from as far as Marseilles and Brussels will be demonstrating civilian, military and fairground models, stationary steam engines and traction engines, and even a 4ft model of a Mexican wood burning locomotive.
 
Be amazed at a 6ft high working model of the museum's 90-inch Cornish beam engine, as well as a floating crane and even aeroplanes all made of Meccano, some driven by steam. Children will be invited to have a go at making their own Meccano masterpiece.
