In 1979 the Meccano Factory was closed and the Meccano Company as created by Frank Hornby ceased to exist.
This site is intended to be an expose of Meccano developments since 1979. It is in no way complete, but hopefully it will give some answers to those who wondered "What happened then?"
The main sources of information are listed below. I would also especially like to mention the inspiration created by the excellent web on the Meccano Light Red and Green Period created by Melvyn Wright (http://www.meccanonut.com/lightred/).
