WHAT WENT WRONG?
elcome to
EIM.
at the conclusion of another busy month
for the team. I must admit to being quite pleased with the
variety in our pages this month which includes milestones
for two of our major build projects.
Andrew Strongitharm’s Barclay 0-4-0 tank ‘Dougal’ reaches a
stage which in any project provides major encouragement to keep on
going, when he connects his chassis up to a pump for the first time and watches the motion
finally moving, powered by compressed air. It’s always a special moment when one sees all the
bits one had slaved over making, all working together for the first time.
Andrew also takes the chance to trail-fit the boiler in position, giving him a real sense of
how his finished loco will look. As we know it looks very well, Dougal’s latest starring role
being at the London show in January where many visitors recognised it from these pages and
kept Andrew busy with questions! Of course we have a full show report in this issue.
Meanwhile Martin Gearing reaches a significant point in the build of the
EIM
Steam
Plant boiler, beginning to solder all the components together. Any novice engineer nervous at
the prospect of silver soldering will find much to inform and encourage in Martin’s words.
Tech Ed Harry, meanwhile, has been learning about ways of building large-scale road loco
wheels, as a result of helping a colleague to move workshop. And Martin Johnson’s innovative
Fowler build project makes clever use of yet more full-size car components.
One feature not in these pages is ‘Detailing a Decapod’, promised last month. Did anyone
spot the deliberate error? Yup, we ran that feature back in November 2017! The Ed’s not very
acceptable excuse was that it was before he assumed the hot seat... At least we spotted the error
before we repeated the feature - doh!
Smaller models also make an appearance with Jonathan Palterman advocating two new
scales which would provide enough size to do some proper model engineering, without taking
up the space the traditional scales do. I know some traditionalists decry the smaller scales but
they really shouldn’t – the first model-related magazine I edited was that of the 16mm
Association and during my time there I saw some superb home-built locos that were without
doubt proper engineering in miniature – just a little more miniature! Enjoy your
EIM...

FRONT COVER
Who says that dioramas are just for the
smaller ‘scenic’ scales? This little 5 inch gauge
cameo was part of the impressive Maidstone
stand at the London show in January. Our
report begins on page 27.
