In this issue

Welcome to Model Engineer Issue 4529.

Our cover feature this time features ‘Jenny Lind’. The Society of Model and Experimental Engineers hold a large collection of historic models and this is the first in an occasional series to look at the conservation of a very old model indeed. Also looking back in history we bring you a contemporary account of an early trip on board Mr. Parsons’ Turbinia, the fastest vessel afloat (by a long way)!
Tyndale continues with the beginning of construction of this powerful little locomotive. And from power to speed; Paul Windross has a slightly different hobby - he races tethered hydroplanes and describes the preparations for a record attempt.
Pure model engineering can be found in the Allan Brothers Semi-Diesel engine series as Frank Cruickshank makes the governor bracket and gears.
Stewart Hart invites everyone to LittleLEC to be held in Cheshire this year and - something a little different - Jo Davies writes a humourous and heart-warming account of life married to a model engineer.
