I too was shocked to hear the news, as I had only recently (within the last few months) corresponded with Malcolm regarding his Lynx engine and purchased a set of drawings from him. For some reason, IC engines seem rather neglected in the pages of ME from a build article point of view and Malcolms’ IC topics under the name of “Nemett” were, for me at least, a welcome change from locomotives etc. As Brian says, Malcolm will indeed be greatly missed.
