1975 ME Article

I've hit a gap in my mag collection, I've got 1971 but then nothing till 1976, so you can guess ... the article I'm looking for a copy off is 1975 :( Anybody got a copy of 1975     Vol141     Issue3512 Page423 Half full size Burrell by G.A.Marsh of Acrise near Folkestone
Additionally - anybody get any more information on Fearless featured in the Article?
The guys who have recently bought it are trying to get it into steam again, and it's apparently been laid up since 1992 so there is no paperwork relating to the boiler. I would presume that it was to plans that should still be around somewhere :)

It's a pity that you didn't ask this last week as I was at SMEE headquarters last Saturday and they have a complete set of ME in their library as well as a scanner. I'm sorry to say that it will be several weeks before I'm back there. Perhaps there is someone reading this group who will be at the SMEE engineering course this saturday who could scan it for you.

Sent to the email address in your headers - just two pictures of the machine. The rest of the page conttent was editorial which did not refer to the engine at all.

Gwil sent a copy of the pages so I have both ... Thanks All, I can at least pass them on, but I think the new owners of the engine were hoping for a little more detail. Has anybody else had dealings with it over the past 40 odd years?

I'm pretty sure I've got all of 1975, but 1965-1976 are in the workshop in un-sorted magazine boxes, so It'll take me a while to find them. Probably a good excuse for me to sort them anyway!

Oops. Didn't load new headers before posting.
The excuse stands, anyway :-)

Don't worry ... already sorted ...

Funny enough the engine Fearless just cropped up in a thread on Traction Talk Forum, as you need to be a member to see it I'll paste it here, the thread was titled "Fearless Turns Up at Auction"
"-Hello everyone,
I have just read in Old Glory that the above model has been bought at auction by 'an enthusiastic father & son from Devon'. I would like to contact the new owners as I used to drive this engine in the 1980s but have not seen it since then. I have lots of photos from when it was built in 1976, including the original crop sprayer wheels! It must have been one of the first half scale models around then.
George Marsh also built a 6" scale portable at the same time. I would like to trace that & also any other models he made. I know of at least four: 4" scale model of Garret 'Rob Roy/Lorna Doone' (which he restored). 3" scale owned by David Hopper for many years. 3" scale, last seen in car showroom near Folkestone. There was another 3" part built under the bench when he died, I think someone tried to finish it.
Any info would be much appreciated.
Cheers, Rob. http://www.robbarkerorgans.co.uk -"

This started with a phone call from the father who had found some details in my ME indexes but while I asked him to email me so I could follow up, that has not happened as yet :( http://medw.co.uk/wiki/view/Model-Q257URL is the information I'd pulled together so far, but unfortunately ME only had the two pictures. Hopefully I will hear back at some point ... otherwise a phone call to chiffers maq be in order.
I'd like to start building a database of models like the full size engine index, on modeltractionengines.co.uk so I'm happy to coordinate this sort of material.

Lester, I don't know if you frequent Traction Talk Forum but they have a section "the Models" which is just for details of completed engines though you do get the odd stray post. Not quite a full data base but has a lot of finished models.
