There was an interesting drama based on Clive Sinclair / Jim Westwood on the BBC around 10 years ago called Micro Men. I thought it was good, although not sure how accurate it was.

Thread: Model Engineer Survey

Why does this hobby attract so many strange people who have huge egos, an awkward nature, boastful personalities and a sarcastic "humour" coupled with a clever-dick/smart-arse attitude? Then we have the ones who can't wait to blurt out phrases such as "dissimilarity of materials", just 'cos it sounds good.
 
It's not a nice combination at all - in fact I find it stomach churning. Spend less time playing the big self-important boaster behind your computer and you'll enjoy life more.
 
I used to follow this forum - but for the reasons mentioned above I don't look at it much now as it''s just full of self-opinionated "look at me" drivel.
Thread: Magazine and Scale Model

Hi Yvonne,
 
Sorry to see you in this situation.

Model Engineer magazines aren't worth much sadly, which always surprises me. I was given a huge number of said magazines last year from someone in a similar postion. If you sell individually you may get £1 per issue, but then get left with a load that nobody wants and make the collection less attractive. If you sell as a job lot you may get £100-£200.......and probably only if someone is local to collect (seeing as I got mine free I paid for DHL to deliver mine).
 
As for the loco - obviously it depends on its status. If I were you I would take lots of clear, good resolution, detailed photos and advertise on eBay, explaining the situation. Steam-buffs scour eBay and it will be a good way to get a good and fair return without someone trying their luck on an unsuspecting seller.
 
That's how I would go about it, other's may have different advice.
 
Best regards,
 
Mike.
