If you are thinking of entering your model into MEX 2016 at Brooklands this year turn to the Application Form together with competition rules printed in this issue. We also have a short feature on writing for the Model Engineer including guidance on putting together your article.
Model making covers the next part of Mastiff Plus and the Semi-Diesel for the I/C engine builders, Barclay Well Tanks for the locomotive enthusiasts and the completion of little Anna for those looking for a fairly straightforward stationary steam engine.
On the cover is Philipp Bannik’s lively little model of an horizontal metal shaper. This issue includes the second part of the series and some further drawings. We thought it deserved to be on the cover!
Steve Orchard describes the background to a sturdy battery electric passenger hauling locomotive before starting his description of the build in Issue 4529.
