I have just decided not to renew my subscription to EIM, because it had degenerated into a "samey" magazine, with the same articles going on for months at a time, part 37 of this steam engine, part 118 of that traction engine, and so on.
ME is little better and no longer available on the shelves of my local WHS (Small wonder at their recently declared trading position?) and the most recent copy of MEW that I saw lacked the technically exciting articles that were its genesis and was full of drib-drab chit-chat.
Perhaps there is room in the market these days for only one magazine because the available articles are thinly distributed?
I have some ME from the late 50's and early 60's, when it was a fortnightly publication, and they are excellent issues; full of topics on radio control, tool-making, model boats as well as the eternal part 99's of everlasting and tedious steam engines.
Perhaps it is time to revert back to a single publication, and, because of its ancestry, that publication to be ME?
