about constructor
There are many official-, fansites and blogs about Lego and Meccano constructors, many different copys and derrivates of the systems. What is totally black area at internet is big meccano-like mainly wooden system - in my childhood this standard was named Vero Construct and made in eastern germany (DDR), now compatible system is made by Heros Toys (germany). Brio MEC or Brio builder system seems also compatible with them as dutch SIO montage. I´m not discussing about copyright issues or patent pendings in this blog, just documenting what can be done with these big elements. In Estonia toy stores there is no good choices for real good toys, just Legos and mainstream stuff only, all overpriced, so I am happy that I found Pillerpall e-shop, where I got my Heros boxes, addition to 1975 Vero construct elements I had already. Vero Consructors are sometimes sold at german Ebay, for a very reasonable prices and mint conditions.
So whats the difference between Vero (left) and Heros (right)?
Vero main tiles are 2-3-4-5-6-7-9, Heros only 3-4-5-6, Vero is more solid build with round bevels.
Main 3D connection element is box (würfel), Vero had blue plastic ones with hole (one opened), Heros has no thru holes in wooden boxes, it is color coded and has dual box also.
Bolts are longer and color coded in Heros, Vero bolts are more solid. I use additional metal elements.
Tires and screwdrivers.
Vero gears and Heros wooden tire.
