These instructions describe a modestly sized model which utilises the parts (plus some in addition) and infra red remote control from the Action Control Set 9526 (no longer on sale). The model is built to a nominal scale of 17:1 the scale being determined by the size of the tyres. Because of the limitations of Meccano dimensions, the scale of the other parts of the model is 15:1.
Instructions cover the front section; upper part (cab); the rear section; the bucket; the bucket lift and tilt mechanism and the wheels. The12 page leaflet is illustrated with eight colour photographs, a dimensioned drawing of the prototype and parts list.
Please note these Model Plans are designed by individual Meccano modellers and may use parts not currently available. The level of instruction detail is dependent on the original modeller and varies from plan to plan. These are instructions only.

| | (Code: MP237) | These instructions describe the construction of a display model commissioned by Atlascraft, the ex-Meccano distributor, and used in their 1990 Meccano brochure. Redesigned to be buildable within the contents a Set 10 plus a Meccano E15R, E20R or similar motor.
Slewing and the action of the bucket arm are motorised and controlled independently by levers in the cab, and the model can be adapted to run continuously, like the original display model, slewing while the bucket arm moves realistically.
12 pages including text, colour photographs and parts list.

These instructions describe the construction of a machine which was just one of a range of machines developed in the early 1970s. it had four wheel drive with articulated steering and the engine mounted in the rear half, with the cab and loader on the front. All the 400 series had the JCB 'hush flow' exhaust system fitted. The 435 had a 137.5 hp engine and an operating weight of 12.809 kg. A bucket of 2.75 or 3.0 cu. yds. was fitted.
The model can be built from a 1970-77 No.10 Set. The only extras required are the Motor, the large tyres and some parts for the wheel hubs. A scale of 1:8 is used, to match the other JCB ModelPlans available, making the model 36" long, 15½" high to the cab roof and 24" overall operating height.
The model has six simulated hydraulic actions for the steering, lifting and tipping. Comprehensive instructions cover the Front Frame, Front Axle Casing, Lower and Upper Steering Pivots, Rear Frame, Rear Axle Casing, Rear Axle Pivot, gearbox Framework, Tiers of Gears, Steering Gear, Gear Lever Linkage, Winch Gear Selectors, Lifting Arms, Supports and Rams, Paralleling Linkage, Tiping Rams, Bucket, Cab, Cab Steps, Seat, Mudguards, Front Cover, Rear End, Engine Cover and Motor Fitting.
The 22 pages contain fifteen colour illustrations and fifteen drawings, plus Parts List.

| | (Code: MP117) | These instructions describe the construction of this large model which is a representation of a typical construction site vehicle. Designed to be built from the largest (now obsolete) Meccano Set No.10, with the addition of a Meccano 6-ratio Power Drive Motor, large tyres and some parts for the wheel hubs.
The model replicates the movement of the real thing and features four wheel drive,

| | (Code: MP222) | Instructions for a compact yet remarkably realistic model both in appearance and function. This model is able to reproduce all the movements of the prototype. With cables for simulated hydraulics and realistic powered tracks and slewing functions, the model is easily built and ready for your choice of control with switches, joysticks or radio. Requires 6 non-Meccano geared motors and a few other non-Meccano but easily obtainable components. Full text and many illustrated and annotated photographs.
Set of 2 booklets, total 44 Pages.

| | (Code: MP101) | These comprehensive instructions describe the construction of this typical wheeled crane from the 1950's.
The finished model will capture the appearance and operation of the real thing. Power comes from a Meccano E20R (or E15R) electric motor.
35 pages of text, three dimensional drawings, b/w photographs and parts list.

| | (Code: MP225) | Linde Side loaders are used in timber yards and builders' merchants for lifting and moving long lengths of timber.
Powered by a Meccano Powerdrive motor, the model features forward and reverse drive through a differential, chain-driven mast raising and lowering, and cord-operated steering and mast traversing, all operated by levers in the driver's cab.
16 pages text and 8 pages of colour photo-graphs, plus a separately-stapled, 12-page booklet of diagrams with parts list.

| | (Code: MP131) | These instructions describe the construction of the biggest mine truck that Terex make in the United Kingdom. This size is big enough for the comparatively small open-cast mines found in the UK.
This model can be built with the contents of the largest Meccano Set (10), no longer in production with the addition of some non standard parts.
12 pages of text and thirteen colour photographs cover the construction of the chassis, gearbox, differential, rear suspension, bonnet , cab, wheels, steering gear and tipping body
Some experience of constructing a large Meccano model will be required to interpret these instructions.
