What is Girder & Panel?
Girder & Panel is a toy construction building set, appropriate for ages 6-13, with which you can build buildings (as well as bridges with the Bridge & Turnpike building set, and powerplant with the Hydrodynamic building set). The completed structure is made to resemble real-life sky-scrapers, fire stations, bank buildings, bridges, pumps, and so on. Originally introduced by Kenner Products in the 1950s, there is an entire generation of engineers and architects that have many fond memories of playing with this set as children. Girder & Panel differs from other construction building sets in that it lets children experiment with real engineering principles. Because the Girder & Panel buildings are actually 1/87 scale of real buildings, children investigate how to build strong buildings and bridges, and how to make water flow for the Hydrodynamic building sets. There are three types of Girder and Panel Building Sets: (The parts included in each set are interchangeable among the three types
