Thread: H.A. Taylor

What a mine of information you guys are. Who in my family would have known of the error in placing my great grandfathers picture in J.A. Radford's book?
I can definitely confirm the picture of my Grandfather at his desk is, in fact, him as it the last memory of him I have as an apprentice engineer when a few friends and myself visited his home shortly before he passed away to view his work and enjoy the enthusiasm and pride he clearly took in his model making and attention to detail.
Although I have drifted from my engineering roots, I still take great pride from his accomplishments and wish to learn more of his abilities and skills than I was able to during his lifetime.
I have found 45+ references to his name in ME, and am trying to track down back issues so that I can build a better picture of his skills and abilities.
 Any help with scanned articles (subject to copyright issues) would be much appreciated in building the web site commemorating his work.

Any and all help would be well received.
 
Best Regards

That would be very kind, I have found some information and posted it at http://web.me.com/dpain/H.A.Taylor/Foreword.html
 
I have more information to post (when I get time) and also need to check and obtain approval for reproducing some of the material
 
Thanks again for your help.

Hi all,
I am trying to find information, articles and photos that relate to the models and articles produced by my Great Grandfather H.A. Taylor ( 1888 - 1980 ) and would be extremely grateful for any information or sources of information provided by the members of these forums.
I would be particularly interested in finding out the whereabouts of his models with a view to taking some photographs for a web site I am creating to commemorate his work.
I have found the two models located at York railway museum (who have been very helpful) along with some articles published in Model Engineer (still looking for some back issues where he was mentioned) 
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated. 
 
Dave
