1468 forum posts 3 photos | The worst thing will be the loss of employement for those that work in the printing industry etc and it is happening on a global level . Eventually newsagents will cease to exist as slowly but surely everything is going digital even the newspapers . At least the publication is to continue . One thing i noticed was mention of video content and that leads me to a question, is there video footage of some of the model engineering exibitions in the UK that i can view online ? Preferably something a little longer than a 2min youtube video and maybe with some inteviews of the entrants etc .

![]() 3357 forum posts 112 photos 10 articles | Hi There I have Cherry Hill's last engine, the Blackburn Engine on DVD. Cherry has given me permission to post it but it is not in the required format. I have to convert it. I will try and do this over the next few days. I might have to host it on my Amazon S3 account as it is a long video. regards David | ||

3681 forum posts 70 photos | It would have been rather nice if The Engineer magazine had reprinted Issue No1 as an enclosure with the last copy! I agree at least The Engineer will continue in digital form, better than nothing I suppose. | ||

1468 forum posts 3 photos | Hi all. That would be fantastic David i will look forward to it . Bob I take it that you used a pram to deliver papers ? Thats one thing i haven't seen in a long time - a paper boy /girl ! Nowdays they would get mugged for the money . These days they use a van and a machine similar to a clay pidgeon thrower and travel at speed so no one can catch them ! But eventually they too will be nothing more than a fond memory as the march of progress grinds its way along . Ian

![]() 7468 forum posts 230 photos | John, I understand that the owner was getting a bit snowed under with the work on the site. Recently had the oppertunity of taking over a site that was being dropped, but when I saw the work load I said no way, someone else picked up, and its still running. I be keeping an eye on HMEM, maybe at sometime I'll log in. Have'nt found modelenginemaker yet, I'll keep looking. Ian S C | ||

4 forum posts | removal of print copy of ENGINEER, Please can anyone tell me if this may be the ultimate fate of Model Engineer and Model Boats magazines? Is it my imagination, or are a lot of readers comments, discussions and dissent already missing from Model Engineer? I have been wondering for many months if someone was already preparing to remove the hard copy of the magazine. Recently I have found myself thinking that there was nothing except good news in the magazine, does anyone agree with me? Anything other than articles seems to be on the website. Does it mean that a digital copy would be stuffed full of adverts getting in the way of the actual magazine content? martin ranson | ||
