Brian Rowe's Model Building Instructions
(For website updates see the bottom of the page)
From the 1970s to the 1990s Brian Rowe designed and built a large number of Meccano models. These were mainly models of steam engine of various types. For many of these he produced building instructions. He would sell the instructions and associated photos by mail order and at exhibitions. Following Brian's death in the late 1990s, these building instructions have virtually all disappeared from the Meccano scene and I felt that it would be good to resurrect them. If anyone has building instructions and/or photos of Brian Rowe's models that are not yet on this website, please get in touch.
Virtually all the building instructions were photocopied from typewritten and hand-drawn illustrations, together with a few very poor photocopied photos. Brian did also sell for an additional cost, prints of colour photos of many of his models. Where I have them, they are included with the model building instructions. The numbers against the model instructions below refer to the number of that model in Brian's 1994 list of model plans also available below.
I will be adding in Brian's Treatise on Meccano model building shortly
