'Other' Constructional and Allied Systems Info & Downloads
Mr Mechanic
Tecnica
Toy Kraft
Entech
M'Tek
Modelix
These systems are all very similar and have both Meccano and Märklin features. Many of the parts appear identical. They were all made in India, from the late 1990s to at least 2010
Entech and M'Tek are both sold under the Toy Kraft brand name. Their website is https://www.toy-kraft.com/
Modelix sets mostly have an Entech equivalent, but with different packaging. Sold in Brazil, but it is thought that the parts were made by Aires in India.
