Our front cover shows the Wolseley WD11 1.5hp Stationary Engine of the 1940s built by the master builder Darren Bonner. This model was awarded the Runnymede Shield for excellence in modelling at the June meeting of the Runnymede Meccano Guild. It was also placed 10th at SkegEx in the Alec Issigonis awards in July of this year. A full write up appears on page 40 of this issue.
£7.00
Our front cover shows Terry Allen’s Bugatti Type 57C Atlantic Coupe of 1935-38 parked in his drive at home. Terry has swept the boards this year and walked off with the top price at the CAM Exhibition in France and the Alec Issigonis Shield at Skegness. To cap that, he joined us at Lyne in October and walked off with the Bill Roberts Memorial Trophy. This is modelling of the highest standard and is a truly great work of art.
£7.00
Our front cover shows Gregg Worwood’s version of Stephenson’s Rocket. This was exhibited at the Midhurst model engineering exhibition in February. Unfortunately, due to a shortage of table space he was only able to set the Rocket up on the rails and the accompanying carriages had to be shown below the exhibition tables.
£7.00
Our front cover shows Pete Evans Marion Bucket Excavator that was joint winner of the Runnymede Meccano Shield at our June meeting. A full write-up of these models appears in this issue on page 27. We are indebted to Pete Wood for producing the front cover.
£7.00
An original copy of this issue from unused stock.
Our front cover shows Neil Bedford’s Hannover CLiii aircraft flying over the English countryside. If you can recognise the castle below then it would be safe to assume that the pilot has lost his way to the south coast! Once again we are indebted to Pete Wood for producing this cover. A write-up on this model appears on page 13 of this issue. The model was awarded 10th place for the Alec Issigonis Shield at Skegness in July.
£7.00
Our front cover shows Pete Wood’s Lamborghini Countach cutting up a corner on a country road. The last article, covering the bodywork, appears in this issue.
£7.00
The model on the front cover is a fantasy view of Pete Wood’s magnificent interpretation of a Tornado GR1 IDS. An introductory article on this model appears on pages 16–19 in this issue. We are hoping to produce several articles featuring the complex mechanisms that make up this model. It has been 25 years in the making and has gone through numerous rebuilds to reach its present climax.
£7.00
The model on the front cover is Richard Smith’s ‘City of London’ Coronation Pacific Locomotive being set in a dramatic Scottish Glen Finnan landscape. Our thanks go to Roland Jaggard for his artwork. This model won the Bill Roberts Memorial Trophy at Otterhaw in June and came second at Skegness for the Issigonis Shield. A feature article on this model appears on page 24 of this issue.
£7.00
Our front cover shows Colin Bull’s interpretation of the Laxey Waterwheel on the Isle of Man. This model was awarded the John Linder Memorial Trophy at Meccanuity 2016 and the Runnymede Modelling Shield 2016. A write-up of the model appears on pages 51–53 of this issue.
£7.00
Our cover shows the front of Pete Evans’ wonderful model of a Brooklands Garage with suitably attired 1930s gentlemen added by Pete Wood. This model won the Issigonis Shield at Skegness in 2016 as well as the Bill Roberts Memorial Trophy at our June meeting. A write-up of this model appears on pages 32–36 of this issue.
