Model engineering

[Hamster69]

I started a thread a while ago about my locos and what I was up to. It is here for anyone interested.

I found that after a while we started talking about different peoples engines etc, so maybe a proper model engineering thread for everyone to talk about what they own, built, ran?
I will continue my loco updates when I have a chance.

Tonight I was at the Hatfield and district society of model enginneers or the club as I shall probably refer to it from now on.
A test to this engine was being carried out as I arrived.



Built by one of our members, it is gas fired. It has been built in such a short space of time we really are all so impressed.

Hopefully this weekend may see some free time that I can get up the workshop. I very much want this to happen again soon.

What a good start, thanks for the post. Those are some impressive engines. I hope you get to see the duchesses in steam soon.

Thanks for that fox. I will have a look on there. If you can get some photos it would be good.

That is always the problem really. I have a full time job, I have a track day car and im part of a team restoring classic cars at work but in our own time. So actually getting some model engineering done can be tricky.

Attended the club tonight. Three successful boiler tests carried out and one steam test.

Just home from a lovely evening with two steam engines. The Hatfield and district club showing that when we try, we can have a great time.









All good preparation for a weekend of steam soon hopefully.

We had our summer steam up on Sunday. A nice afternoon with good weather. What it's all about really!

After not a huge amount of interest on here. I have moved our club page to Facebook.
