Library
Welcome to our library page!
We have developed this facility to collect and present information for the interest and enthusiasm of model engineers and their clubs, and other interested people seeking specific information for use in their hobbies, or simply to browse. Many of the articles presented have been published in club or FMES newsletters, or produced for support and clarification purposes by and for those engaged in some capacity in the hobby, including by FMES. Where relevant, they are reproduced by kind permission of the original publishers, with the authors name where known.
Browse the topics, or use our ‘search’ function to find relevant articles.
If you have any comments to assist us in expanding this resource, including allowing us to access your club’s newsletters for more items, please do not hesitate to contact us
