CANADA


Model: Servetti's Trolley Factory

Modeller: Ron Kurtz, Gloucester, ON

Notes: This remarkable model is an original by Sr.Giuseppe Servetti of Italy. The model was re-constructed by the late Dr.Keith Cameron of USA, who subsequently wrote it up as a modelplan that was published as a Constructor Quarterly Special.

In it, four-wheeled trolleys are assembled in Plastic Meccano parts. Each completed trolley rolls to another area for dismantling and the separated parts are returned for re-use. This cycle of operations continues endlessly.

Ron has re-designed some of the electricals to ensure reliability in operation.

 

 

Model: "Pinyon" Block-setting Crane

Modeller: Rick Collette, Manitoba, Winnipeg

Notes: This is realisation of the painting of the block-setter crane by artist W.H.Pinyon that used to adorn the covers of instruction manuals for about a decade after WW II. The modeller himself is in the photo with his admiring grandson!
