- This is a slightly scaled down version of an automatic transmission in the June-Sept 1976 Meccano engineer publication made by Robin Schoolar. It uses both input speed and load to decide which gear to use.
From the motor to the output shaft 1st is 36:1, 2nd 27:1 and 3rd 18:1.
There is a video link at the end describing the constant mesh mechanisms.
I couldn't agree with you more. Additionally the demise of decent construction toys in favour of quick assembly kits. Children need to learn about patience and proper achievement. Meccano France are starting what looks like a decent plastic Meccano range shown on the MeccanoToys channel. I hope it does well.
that's a brilliant design and build,,,
Someone called Robin Schoolar. He is still active today making interesting Meccano models.
Very interesting - made me think of meccano in a new way thank you

hi brian...
that is a so cooool gearbox with automatic transmission...
i like that erector model toy
this is beautiful
Great model, and thanks for the good explanation I learnt something
Wow fantastic- thanks for posting!
Tricky. This is not a model that you can buy from a shop as such. The parts can be bought at the meccanoman com website. The magazine to build it may be available on ebay. However this is going to set you back quite a bit, the brass parts are expensive.
Thank you
awsome!
What sort of mind can invent this stuff?
Thanks for your backup. Is James May our last hope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you explain how these ratchet mechanisms work, and how they keep the gears engaged? Thanks!
+Daan Haeyen I can, will have to do a supplementary video. Should be up by mid month,
+Daan Haeyen That is now up. Look for the link at the end of the video.
+Brian Meccano Leach Thanks, that explains exactly what a ratchet is and how it's made from Meccano. But how does this help with the shifting between gears? I think I understand: when the mechanism switches into a higher gear, it is still driving the lower gear, but because of the ratchet those gears are simply being pulled along. Is that right?
+Daan Haeyen I don't rightly know. All I can suggest is you buy the magazine where the model came from. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MECCANO-ENGINEER-No-12-JUNE-SEPT-1976-FINAL-ISSUE-IN-EXCELLENT-CONDITION-/182002801956. The explanation is difficult but when a high gear is engaged the lower gears freewheel.
into TOP GEAR ;)
where ca i buy this model????
Where can I find the instructions for this thanks
To the best of my knowledge the instructions are not available on the web. However it is in the June-Sept 1976 Meccano engineer publication. Maybe you could find that on ebay.
Can you make a video on how to make this please
I can do but it does mean rebuilding the model. I would suggest you try to find the article for the junior engineer magazine Jun to Sept 76. It should be on the Web somewhere.
@@MECCNUTTY OK thanks
where did you found metalic gears?
meccanoman.co.uk sells them. Not cheap.
@KevinByrne2 On the wife front there are only three solutions I've seen within our Meccano club, 1). A subservient wife, 2). A wife interested in Meccano (rare), 3). No wife.
Why don't they teach this in schools instead of getting the children to kick a bag of
wind up and down a field.
ma è il Meccano BRAL ???
non capisco la domanda. cos'è il bral???
@@MECCNUTTY ciao Amico Brian.., ora guardando meglio il video, mi accorgo che è simile al Meccano BRAL, una marca concorrente ma ugualmente buona come quella che propagandi Tù.., oggi che ho 69 anni, io sono del '52, mi ricordo con amore di quelle costruzioni meccaniche che amavo giocare tantissimo durante la mia infanzia........ e che "giocherei" volentieri tutt'ora.... 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉💛💛💛💛💛💛, by mladic......
@@MECCNUTTY ho visto meglio il tuo video...., ma questo è per bambini prodigi..., molto migliore del meccano BRAL.......
Set di costruzioni Bral (Il Costruttore Meccanico/Bral) Il Costruttore Meccanico era il nome dato da Bral al suo sistema costruttivo. In seguito fu chiamato Il Costruttore Bral. È stato realizzato in Italia dai primi anni '20 al 2004. Il sistema può essere suddiviso in due fasi principali. Nella prima le serie erano numerate da 000 a 4. Successivamente sono state rinumerate da 1 a 9 con alcune serie aggiuntive aggiunte nella sequenza.
@@MECCNUTTY sebbene oggi sono nonno, non ho mai dimenticato questo gioco, non ti nascondo caro Amico , che la Tua marca è ben superiore al mio affezionato gioco, il gioco stesso nel suo assieme è migliorato a grande vantaggio dei bambini e di chi se ne innamora.., al mio tempo mi era noto solo il Bral numero 5.., visto che mio padre non se ne importava di esaudirmi.., ci rimasi maluccio e mi distrassi da questa amata attività..., ma a napoli non lo vidi MAI altrimenti l'avrei preso per i miei figli o nipoti.., ma non sò dove trovarli...., un caro Saluto Amico Brian.... 😍😍😍😍😍😍
