New England Model Engineering Society
15th Annual Show - 19 February 2011
Slide Show HERE and Video here
Bruce Murray's beautiful showman's wagon. Also show are patterns and a cylinder block for the 1/3 scale 6 cylinder Jaguar engine he is scratch building.
These are parts that, in a few years, will be a 7.5 scale Union Pacific Challenger articulated engine. The frame is for the front unit of the engine.
Frank Dorion built this very effective spring winder. Frank hopes to have a construction article in a future HSM but if that doesn't happen he will make plans available. If you are interested email me ( errol.groff@snet.net ) and I will forward your inquiry to Frank.
These are some items from the museums current Steampunk exhibit.
20 February: Just received from Bob Neidorff our Gazette publisher and mailer outer these photos. Thank you Bob!!
Far left is a trunk full of cakes and goodies baked by Terri Groff. Also in the photos are Sue Brackett, Lisa Baker. Skillfully avoiding the photographer were Bea Boucher, Gail Martha, Leslie Jones and Romayne Bono, whose full trunk photos were not available. Huge volumes of food were donated to feed the hungry Visigoths who descended upon the food tables at noon time. Sale of goodies at the show is a chief fund raiser for the club during the year.
Circle February 18th on your calendar for 2012!
