MODEL ENGINEERING.
SOME HINTS TO BEGINNERS.
Some hints to beginners in model engineering were given tiy Mr. J. F. Muckley, district locomotive engineer of the New Zealand Railways, in an address to the Auckland Model Engineering Society last evening. Mr. Mackley. said the only way to build successful models was to start on the drawing board. Before anything else was touched the drawing should ho completed. The beginner should do the whole of the work himself as far as possible. Lack of suitable tools often proved a handicap and it sometimes happened that the model had to he built to suit the toolbox. That gave opportunity for engineering skill. It was desirable for the society to provide a workshop when funds permitted. Modern literature also assisted the amateur.
