Hi all Sorry if this is a silly question.
How do you put the radius from a drawing into your practical work, ai am a little stuck with understanding the process or how to measure and mark onto a work piece, for example the drawing is showing R66 (measured in mm).
Thanks inadvance

Hi everyone
I am new to model engineering, I aim to build a nice size traction engine eventually but will probably start with a stationary steam engine.
I love all things steam especially locos and volunteer in my local heritage railway MPD department. So here it goes how do I start a project, I picked up a copy of mdep engineering and found it really interesting. What basic tools are needed and where do i obtain materials I have seen a few online sites etc I am looking for general advice on the subject to get me started as soon as possible on a project. I know its a bit vague but feel a little lost in the matter due to having no prior experience In this field, not sure if there are any local people or clubs that do model engineering. I live in North staffs area.
Thanks in advance |
