and by the time you read this we will be
heading into high summer, the clubs will be busy with
visitors and lots of action to be had each weekend. In fact
looking at the latest selection of excellent magazines and newsletters
that we receive each month from the clubs, it’s good to see some
impressive new projects coming to fruition, and we highlight a
couple – you have to be impressed by model engineers such as Worthing club chairman
Kevan Ayling, who deciding he wanted to build himself a traction engine went straight for a
4-inch scale example! Certainly makes the pile of components for a 1-inch scale ‘Minnie’ that
have occupied a corner of the editor’s workshop for several years look very – small...
Of course big engines, whether rail or road, are impressive but they come with challenges,
not least their weight, especially as we get older. So I was particularly pleased to receive the
piece from Bob Davies that we publish this month, on building an overhead crane for the
workshop. It’s a brilliantly simple idea that could help a model engineer continue building the
size of engine they are used to rather than being forced to downsize.
Such features are just the kind I like to use – while nut-and-bolt builds such as Martin
Gearing’s vertical boiler and Andrew Strongitharm’s ‘Dougal’ (taking just a one-issue break
this month) are core to the magazine, such ‘useful variety’ as the crane are just as important,
as are in-depth studies for the experienced model engineer to get their teeth into, such as
Brian Wood’s trials and tribulations with gear cutting. And subjects such as Dave Rowe’s
automata provide something very different while equally valid – what lucky grandchildren he
has, receiving such excellent pieces of home-built engineering as presents instead of some
mass-manufactured modern piece of electronics and plastic.
Of course, such variety remains difficult to achieve, as stated last month we are always
looking for good new features to interest our readers, and we pay for published articles! We’ve
had some interesting stuff in since last month’s request, but please keep them coming – your
fellow model engineers want to hear about YOUR project!

The weight of a large locomotive could force
a model engineer to downsize ideas such as
this overhead crane could prevent this.
