New sets are available now via mail order from the Canadian Modeling Association for Meccano & Allied Systems (CMAMAS). See their website http://www.cmamas.ca/ under "For Sale Through CMAMAS".

This Canadian retail chain
has stores across the country.
They don't sell Meccano parts, but they are an excellent source
of inexpensive electric motors for use with Meccano models.
For example, they formerly sold #0751966, a small DC
electric motor with a 5/32" output shaft. It was perfect for
Meccano models and cost only C$3.99 (but is no longer available).
