The Evil Eye Mk II Ferris Wheel
After displaying my latest model of a Ferris Wheel at the SELMEC Meccano Show on 2nd November 2024, I soon decided to give the model a new look, changing it’s name to ‘Evil Eye Mk II’.
The complete diameter of the wheel made with 16 strips (part № 1) were all removed and replaced by 48 curved strips in yellow and red for both sides of the framework. The overall round structure was also connected by 8 double angle strips (part № 48c) to reinforce the whole frame.
32 strips (part № 2), sixteen on each side added 16 inches to the overall diameter where the eight cars originally mounted on boilers now were fitted on eight circular girders rotating freely.
Eight flanged plates (part № 52) in green colour were also added to the framework making the whole wheel a lot stronger and also easier to transport.
The overall look of the model has been much improved, and it is stronger and more interesting.
