Thread: Isle of Man Steam Engines
20/07/2011 11:34:46
Hello Dave
Welcome to the forum!
 
I do not know of anyone who produces a kit as such but a fellow Manxman by the name of Mike Casey (ex Steam Packet) produced drawings for a Beyer Peacock IOM loco some years ago. I have seen several of these engines running and they are well proven. Mike is still an active model engineer and, I think, a member at the club at the Wildlife park. If you would ike me to give you Mike's contact details I could do that by PM. He would be able to guide you on the degree of skill required for a project like this.
 
Best regards
Diane

Just a thought....
Thread: Why so few profiles?

The word 'betray' in this context is figurative. It means 'to be evidence of...' or 'tells of'.
In other words "a posting often gives evidence of a person's personality".
 
Hope that helps.

I have to agree with Chris. A posting often betrays a personality.
But just so I can't be accused of not doing so - mine is now there to view. It isn't quite my life story. There have been other things...

What is the circulation of MEW these days David?

If anyone is interested, expressed as a percentage of the populations, it equates to about the same each side of the Atlantic.

An interesting thread and thanks to all contributors.
 
I would tend to agree that three articles on CNC in one MEW is a bit much but it is not typical. Sometimes, that's the way things pan out.
 
As a general commet, my view is that until such time as a sister magazine might come to fruition, there is a place for some CNC in MEW. We can none of us sit, Canute-like, telling CNC to go away. It will be embraced by those who choose to embrace it and ignored by those for whom it holds no attraction whatsoever. The Editor does try to cater for all readers who like to produce things in a workshop, whatever method they use. A lot of readers will surely gain some pleasure from combining state of the art CNC techniques with hand filing an other long held skills. Bear in mind, also, that very few 17 year olds leaving school today would understand why you would want to use 'old fashioned' methods when CNC is now available. Possibly not those who have spent time with their parents and grand parents in the home workshop, but those for whom shcool or college has been the only source of education in engineering are bound to think this way. And are we not trying to bring this generation into the model engineering hobby?
 
What I'm saying is that there is, presently, a place for both. Please be assured that three articles in one magazine does not signify a shift - or even a drift - towards MEW becoming a CNC-dominated magazine. As a previous writed has said, of you have an idea for a non CNC article please put pen to paper!

Hi all
Just had a reply back from the tech department. In a nutshell, it was a false alarm. I won't even try to explain the reason but there was a good one. Staff at adbutler are sorting it out.

Thread: Model Engineer Survey

Rod - We take your point but our policy is to let the forum be - unless it becomes abusive and/or personal. Be assured it is being watched very carefully. This thread is not distracting right minded people from the useful and helpful threads presently running elsewhere - so far.
 
Mike76 - you have a valid point but I don't think it is the hobby as such. To some people this forum evidently is their life! You only have to count the number of postings they make in the course of a 'working' day. What does that tell you? Don't you find that all forums are the same though? I hope you can make use of the other, far more useful threads elsewhere. Those are the threads for which it really exists. This is one of those that gives a platform to those you describe very well - to show their true colours, don't you think?

Hi Graham
As you will not be completing a survey due to its being a statisitcal waste of time, and you do not buy Model Engineer as about 90 percent of its content is not to your liking, could you possibly give us about 50 words on 'What would induce me to subscribe to Model Engineer'?

PS this is genuine interest, not sarcasm.

Ady,
We have just had five pages elsewhere of nothing but vitriol created by a very inconsiderate and thoughtless person.

 

You're safe enough. I suspect Ady might be having a lie in ....

Andrew
As far as I know you can purchase exactly what you need from Clupet. He is very good - we purchased a set of rings for the Sentinel (admitedly some time ago now). Don't delay too long though. I have heard that he is looking to retire from the business. He's at Factory B, Solway Ind Est., Maryport CA15 8NF.

Diane
