Model Engineer  |  4531
Welcome to Model Engineer Issue 4531
On the cover is Patrick Williams’ lovely little Minnie traction engine to the famous design by Len Mason. He wanted a simple solution to setting the valve without having to dismantle the gear and describes his solution here. Frank Cruickshank continues with the intricacies of the governor for the ‘semi-diesel’ and the Mastiff Plus gains an ignition system. John Stewart uses simple CNC techniques to produce links and Andrew Dawson sections a British Seagull outboard motor - a marque for which he has particular passion.
Clive Fenn - an LMS man to the core - describes his formative years and the gift of a model locomotive and we review a stunning book on the subject of aviation modelling. This issue includes all the remaining drawings for the delightful horizontal metal shaper by Philipp Bannik and everything you need to complete Tyndale, the battery electric workhorse.
Hours of happy reading!
