Meccano Magazine was a classic magazine for boys that ran for decades and covered not only Meccano model making but also had a wide variety of other non-fiction articles focusing on engineering, trains, planes and automobiles. These 1960s issues are great, giving a snapshot of boys’ interests from some 6 decades ago. Additionally, the adverts are wonderful!
