Derek the Dragon
Built by Brian Leach in March 2024 for the Meccano Magazine Cover Models Secretary’s Challenge
Designed by Geoff Coles and featured in the July 1979 issue of Meccano Magazine. My version has some differences:
- Blue/yellow colour scheme.
- Not steam-powered. An electric motor moves and steers using caster steering.
The head goes from side-to-side and the tail waggles. It is a pain to build as the magazine article did not show internal photos.
