Spanish Language Meccano Manuals

Details and Downloads of the Manuals

This section covers Spanish language instruction manuals for Meccano sets.

In 1932 a Spanish company`(Novedades Poch. SA) got permission to sell make and sell Meccano in Spain under licence. They then never added the extra parts subsequently introduced from Liverpool and consequently their manual models remained more less the same right to the 1960s. They did however issue a few Spanish Supermodel manuals. Other Spanish speaking markets (e.g. Argentina) were supplied by Meccano (Liverpool) in the usual way.

For a brief period in around 1970 'Exin Lines Bros' had the license to market Meccano sets in Spain, but they soon moved to Mexico and so it reverted back to Novedades Poch.

For more information on Spanish Meccano see the Metaling/Spanish Meccano page in the 'Other' Systems section of this website here.

Between 1967 and 1985 the Argentinian company Exacto got permission to sell make and sell Meccano in Argentina under licence. They added many extra parts to the Meccano range, which were exported to many parts of the world. Their parts were stamped Meccano ind. Argentina.

For more information on Argentinian Meccano see the Exacto/Argentina Meccano page in the 'Other' Systems section of this website here.

The Meccano manuals below are split into four sections.
1. Those issued by Meccano (Liverpool).
2. Those issued by the Spanish company 'Novedades Poch. SA'.
3. Those issued by the Spanish company 'Exin Lines Bros'.
4. Those issued by the Argentinian company 'Exacto'.

Scans of other Spanish language manuals would be much appreciated.
