Build a famous landmark of American ingenuity, the tallest building in New York City!
Did you know the Empire State Building held the title of tallest building in the world from 1931 - 1972?
Built in the midst of the Depression to be the tallest structure on earth, the framework rose at a remarkable rate of 4 stories per week. It took builders working 7 days a week a total of one year and 45 days to raise this beautiful example of construction ingenuity.
To date, over 117 million visitors have taken in the gorgeous New York City skyline from this spectacular vantage point. 80 mile views from its observation deck take visitors to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
Now, Erector brings you a detailed replica of the quality, challenge and inspiration of the real 1,454 foot tall landmark. Experience creativity, deductive reasoning, logical thinking, principles of mechanics, physics & problem solving. Bring this Empire State Building into your home and you'll assemble 961 pieces into a beautiful replica that stands nearly 2 feet tall!

This structure is great for those who enjoy playing with models but who want them to be sturdier. My 5 yo son loves NYC, but most models were not sturdy enough for him to play with. This fit the bill!
Meccano Enthusiast review of 'Empire State Building'

This is a fine example of a 'dedicated' Meccano set. It comprises parts that are rugged and oriented towards structures (i.e. does not have wheels and such parts used for various vehicle models).
WIth over 900 parts, it is one of the larger sets from Meccano and, of course, can be used to construct countless other models from the builder's imagination (the instruction book is just for the Empire State Building).

My Daughter is greatly enjoying assembling the building. It is a high quality erector set. I hope Fat Brain adds similar kits of other world landmarks. In building such kits, the young can get a sense of some of the great achievements of mankind, before laying eyes on the real thing
