elcome to
EIM
as we go into the high season of hopefully
warm temperatures and busy club tracks – and judging by
the reports we are highlighting in our
Club News
pages the
tracks are pretty busy, which is great to hear.
This month we start yet another new series, but just a short one,
showing you how you can build your very own garden railway. Now
the first magazine your editor took charge of was that of the Association of 16mm Narrow
Gauge Modellers, and that was all about building garden railways, mostly live-steam powered.
We are not talking anything as small here, however – Simon Mace has built a 7
¼
-inch
ride-on railway in his garden, and over the next six issues will be describing how he
constructed everything, from moving earth to building, track, two battery locos and rolling
stock. I can hear what you are saying; “All right if you have a massive garden...” Not at all,
Simon did all this in a length of around 100 feet...
A new hopefully regular feature we are debuting this month is
Bench Talk
– the concept is
simple, recreating the atmosphere in the club workshop where model engineers swap
anecdotes and especially advice – not necessarily for beginners like John Smith’s
Top Tips,
but
little ways of doing things gathered from years of experience. Have a look at our first offerings
and if you think you have something suitable for the page, then send it in! As I’ve said before
we do pay for articles you know...
Finally the editor makes no apology at all for taking a little space to feature the efforts of
his daughter Megan. I’m writing this a week after Megan staged her first ‘Women teaching
Women’ event on the Perrygrove Railway in the Forest of Dean. She discovered a passion for
engineering around five years ago when she was persuaded to “have a go” and now she wants
to encourage other women to have a go too – whether it be driving rail locomotives, steering a
traction engine or welding two pieces of metal together. It’s an excellent initiative that in the
process could produce some more female model engineers – and that’s certainly a good thing.
