elcome to
EIM
and while it might say February at the top
of this page, I’m tempted to wish our readers Happy New
Year, because the vagaries of publishing schedules see me
writing these words on New Year’s Eve!
We have some interesting material lined up to entertain you with
as we head into both a new year and a new decade, a mix of the good,
solid traditional model engineering
EIM
is known for, and some quite
different subject matter showing the wide diversity of our hobby. I think the smorgasborg (no
your editor did not get a new diary for Christmas...) in this issue demonstrates that rather well.
From our regular correspondent Jan-Eric Nyström comes the start of a new and impressive
loco build, a 7
¼
-inch gauge ten-wheeler, and being a Jan-Eric production the project is full of
interesting techniques, not least the laser-cutting colourfully illustrated in this first part.
As a complete contrast Jan-Eric takes a good look at one of the most basic steam engines
made – so how many of you were first turned onto the hobby by the gift of a Mamod for
Christmas? Breathing in the distinctive smell of methylated spirits in a time when it wasn’t felt
necessary to keep youngsters so far away from such dangerous chemicals (sarcastic, me?). Or if
you were younger you might have wrestled with the later solid fuel tablets that were much
‘safer’ but also far less efficient? Yup, the part played by Mamod in inspiring future model
engineers should not be under-estimated, but if this is far too basic for you, don’t worry, we
have some ‘proper’ stationary stuff coming next month with a new Muncaster engine build.
We have a rare petrol engine piece this month, an interesting tale with perhaps not the
conclusion one might have expected. Memo to i/c engine fans – we’d like to see some more
features on these... Meanwhile the father-and-son Keningtons have been getting ever more
inventive with their 3D printing techniques, while three major builds near their conclusion
– Martin Gearing will be lighting up his steam plant boiler next month and Bruce Boldner
painting his Midland Spinner, having added some clever touches in this month’s episode.
With Andrew Strongitharm’s ‘Dougal’, a staple of
EIM
since I arrived in the editor’s chair,
also nearing conclusion, there’s space for lots of new stuff and we have some exciting material
lined up. But as I’ve stated before, there is still space for your project to feature in these pages
so why not make a new year’s resolution to write it up?
