Thread: Steam Regulator
28/08/2010 19:12:28

Thanks for the ideas, but does anyone have any drawings or sketches of something suitable, so that I cab design and build something??

I would like to make a small steam regulator, so that I can control the speed of my little oscillator, whilst running on compressed air, 20 psi.
Has anyone any ideas?
 
Cheers
 
Thread: Comments on the Exhibition
01/01/2010 14:15:58
Yes, I agree with all the comments above, but we need to promote our hobby in all forms. When Model Enginer was first published, aircraft were a rarity, cars were for the few, and pleasure boating was in its infancy.
 
We now have new materials, and best of all, new ideas. Plastic is here to stay.
 
Let's embrace all the disciplines and learn from them.
 
BUT ABOVE ALL
 
HAVE FUN MODELLING
 
Cheers

I hope that this is the right place to comment on the Exhibition.
 
Point one: Well done to you all, you have resurrected the Exhibition from the dead. The trade stands were good, the demonstrations excellent and the one lecture that I attended was very informative to a beginner.
 
The poor points were the models entered and loaned. Where were they?
From the "engineering"  point of view, there were some nice exhibits, but the Boats?
 
Perhaps, you could go back to entries from the whole spectrum of modelling, figures, cars, small locomotives (oo guage), and planes. Surely there must be people mking models of a highest enough standard.
 
Perhaps, you could talk to the IPMS, and allow them to run their own competition to their rules. (enough of rules they have caused controversy already)
 
Lets turn the whole thing open to all, and see a modern version of the Exhibitions of yeteryear.
 
Excellent work, keep going.
