Model Engineer Magazine was first published (in the United Kingdom) to support the hobby of model engineering in 1898 by Percival Marshall, who was to remain its editor for over 50 years. Model Engineering is the hobby of constructing machines in miniature. ...
The magazine addressed the emergence of a new hobby the construction of models (often woorking) and experimental engineering, largely in metal. It transcended class barriers, appealing to professional engineers, to jobbing machinists and anyone interested in making working mechanisms.
The magazine has had many notable contributors, but foremost among these was LBSC (Lillian Lawrence) AKA 'Curly'. From the inter-war period to the 1970s he produced many designs for simple but reliable small model steam locomotives. Most of these were published in model engineer, and brough the construction of small passenger hauling locomotives within the reach of the typical home machinist.
Over the years the magazine has waxed and waned, but is currently enjoying the increased popularity of the hobby engendered by the availability of cheap but usable machine tools from south-east Asia.
All of our models are supplied as sets of castings with drawings and all the necessary materials and fixings and fittings for you to machine your own model steam engine using a lathe and milling machine.
For those withoutmodels model steam engines access to a workshop models we also offer many of our models steam enginesmodels as fully machined kits, in which all of the components are turned, threaded and milled.
Whether model you are a modeler, collector model steam or simply some one with an eye for quality, we hope you enjoy this insight into our company and look forward to being of assistance in thesteam modelmodels future.
