Dick,
  My omission, I should have said that is an email address not a web
site.  To subscribe one sends an email and here are the full particulars,
which you will see are similar to this List:  The ME List is a veritable
treasure trove of information of every kind, and of course live steam.

Walt,
They are pre WW-1 era. And quite collectible! I'm sure on ebay or something
similar they would be grabbed up quickly!

[WaltSwartz]

Hi,
The one we received must be a later edition. The cover price was 9 d. 
The author was Pearce, b ut it was revised by Delves-Broughton.
Guess that makes it a mere child, undoubtedly younger than Sir Geoff.
Thanks for the response.
Keep your steam up!

"model engineer"

[WaltSwartz]

For those of the "cuppa": persuasion:
At The Depot we often get boxes of "stuff" that belonged to grandpa or great 
uncle Osgood and The Depot should add this to their 'collection.'
Today I found this little booklet in one such box.
THE "MODEL ENGINEER" SERIES
MODEL BOILER MAKING
NO. 69d

Designing . Making . Testing
Percival Marshall & Co. Ltd. London.

A Practical Handbook on the Designing, Making, and
Testing of Small Steam Boilers
by
 E. L. PEARCE

revised by
V. W. DELVES-BROUGHTON

No where in this 70 plus page booklet can I find a date of any kind.
 There are advertisements for "The Model Railway News" Clockwork, Steam and
Electric. Published the first of every month.
 Another advert for "The Model Engineer   everybody's journal of
MECHANICS, ELECTRICS, MODELS, & TOOLS.   Published every Thursday.

Does anyone have any idea of how old this may be? Even though the pages are 
tan and the edges and margins are quite brown and brittle, it must surely be 
younger than 'dogfood Geoff'

Keep your steam up!

Fleming,
   There are several sources in the UK for back issues of ME.  First among
them and most likely place to have them on hand will be TEE Publications
(Warwickshire UK)
<http://www.fotec.co.uk/mehs/tee/index.html>
   Also The Tool Crib (Colyton, Devon, UK) has small stocks.
