THE CYLINDERS

elcome to
EIM.
Highlight of the past month for me was
without doubt the Midland Model Engineering Exhibition.
As ever it was an enjoyable show and John Arrowsmith
starts his traditional full round-up in this issue, but I want to share
with you one incident involving the engine pictured on our cover.
I was standing admiring the excellence of Alan Boot’s work when
I could not help hear the conversation of two visitors standing next to me. “There’s something
not quite right about that,” said one. “Too shiny?” replied the other...
I thought long and hard about that comment. The model was certainly pristine, and
would happily grace a (large) mantelpiece. But to me this was ‘ex-works’ condition and
looking good for it. Can a model really be ‘too’ shiny? If you have a view, write and tell me!
Doug Hewson’s Y4 project
Regular readers of
EIM
will recall that this series was suspended a while ago due to some
health issues for builder Doug Hewson, and we have received enquiries about the future of the
project. Well we are pleased to report the Doug is well on the mend and has been doing some
work on the model, but it will be a while yet before we are able to resume the series.
We are sure all readers will join us in wishing Doug a continued smooth recovery, and
meantime he says he would be pleased to hear from readers who have been building the loco
– he can be contacted at doug@the-hewsons.co.uk

Send us your shorts
I’ve stated before that we really like to see contributions from readers and we do pay for
what we use. But they don’t have to be long articles or multi-part features. I’d really enjoy
receiving some shorter items, perhaps tips from a particular workshop session, interesting
encounters while building a model and the like, of say 500 words or so with a couple of
pictures. If you think you may have something suitable, by all means send it to the address
below – go on, pass on your experiences to your fellow readers!

FRONT COVER
This superb Midland Single earned only a
second prize for Alan Boot at the Midlands
show in October. The editor did not agree
with a comment he heard from one visitor
saying it was “too shiny.” What do you think?
