It’s like Lego but metal based and mechanical. You can build simple working diggers etc. I did a quick Google and you can still buy this stuff if you want but it’s limited supply as it may have stopped being produced. It’s IMO much better than Lego Technic (which is still awesome).
So Meccano is legitimately cool for a kid and it teaches how things they love work when they build them. It sounds like your kid and you would love to build something like that together.
no whats meccano?
Omg! It’s like Lego but made of metal straps and bolts. Fucking fantastic
It has working gears and motors too! Super cool. I loved loved loved mine.
Me too. I basically kidnapped my brothers’ Meccano sets. Hours of good clean fun and many bandaids for the cuts you get from the razor sharp edges.
EDIT: its precise not sharp - still cuts though if you don’t handle it carefully.
I remember Meccano
I think I had some weird plastic version though
