Hello chaps.

I’ve been lurking for a while and thought it’s about time to join in the fun. I come from a motor vehicle repair/modification back ground, which naturally led on to an interest in machining. I have a Warco GH1330 and WM180 lathe paired with a Warco Super Major milling machine. My first proper steps into model engineering were eighteen months ago. I started with building a couple of variations of Wig-Wag engines, an Elmers wobble plate engine and then moved onto a Stuart S50. I’m currently half way through machining a Stuart Victoria. I hope that more experienced members might see they’re way into answering some of my questions as and when.

Best Regards, Grubscrew

Welcome.

If you can find a Model Engineering club within reasonable distance, join. You will find like minded individuals.
