The collection includes various gears, axles, and brackets designed for complex mechanical model building. A yellow perforated metal box, a classic Meccano component, houses an electrical motor unit with an attached black power cord and plug. Multiple instruction booklets are present, providing illustrated guides for building various wheeled vehicles and racing cars. The items are stored in several non-original containers, including a teal plastic toolbox, a black divider tray, an orange Jacob’s biscuit tin, and a repurposed metal box.
