Engineering in Miniature April 2018

[Andrew Charman]

Hi folks,

 

The new issue, my second, hits the news stands this week and we've tried to offer content to interest a wide variety of model engineers.

 

Headline feature this month is the start of a constructional series particularly suitable for beginners who want to build a locomotive. Young Sussex member Andrew Strongitharm will document the build of his 5in gauge Barclay 0-4-0 'Dougal.'

 

Newly appointed technical editor Harry Billmore has hit upon a novel plan to use the engine from a steam car in a 7.25in gauge geared Sentinel steam loco.

 

Jan-Eric Nystrom completes his small boiler build;

 

Mark Smithers checks out the engineering attractions of the Middleton Railway;

 

John Smith makes some very attractive tiny hinges;

 

Plus news, tips and information, including a novel use for a pair of Mole Grips!

 

Check it out at your local newsagents now or direct from https://www.world-of-railways.co.uk/engineering-in-miniature - the cover to look for is below!
