This set can make the crane truck, but not multiple projects. Its not 50 models at the same time. The shaft collars are weak, when you have gears driving gears they should have screw locking collars instead of rubber and plastic collars. The instructions are a little weak also. My son, 6 yrs old, enjoyed the building but was disappointed in the functionality.

I purchased this set because it was the largest available and I loved my erector set as a kid. However, this is a poor product. There are very few 'parts'. You will need every single one to make most of the designs included. So don't lose even one piece. Not $5 worth of metal here. They count every nut and bolt! Designs are complicated and parts are very small, almost impossible to assemble, especially anything with the motor and gearbox. Blueprints are poor as well. Included tools are useless. I could not have been more dissapointed with this purchase. I do not recommend!!!

This erector set provides an enjoyable introduction to building and designing machines. The included booklet starts you off with detailed instructions for 50 different models, and it's easy to create your own designs as well. I found the tools and parts to be durable and easy to use, and the 6V motor adds motion to the models for extra fun and design possibilities. Whether building from the provided instructions or designing your own machine, this set is educational fun. Overall, this is a great erector set alone or combined with another Meccano set.
