Model Engineer & Workshop June 2026

This issue is packed with live-steam projects, workshop improvements and accessible engineering guidance. The BR Standard “Mogul” receives new firehole doors, while the Silver Crest BR Class 1500 gains motion work and a trial boiler fitting. Follow the unusual Fourunner V4 oscillating engine, connect a Hartnell governor to a tandem compound mill engine and begin modelling the characterful L&NWR locomotive Samson. Practical features cover Alibre Atom 3D CAD, machining and checking tapers, restoring monument clamps, improving an ML7 indexing extension and constructing a tool-and-cutter grinder. There is also model engineering from New Zealand, IMLEC information, readers’ tips and club news.
