I decided to make room for these in my house, £30 including the heaving bookcase. Model Engineer magazines from 1974 (the year I was born) to 2023. Now the big question is…oldest or newest first?

A great buy !

Read the oldest first [because there are so many ‘series’ in them]

Start with the oldest first because they are the best.

Def oldest. I have the 1977 bound volumes and have read and reread them countless times. Great old articles by GH Thomas and his contemporaries. The golden age of model engineering. Written by men who worked in machine shops and toolrooms all day long then went home to the “real job” in their home workshops to show what they could really do when not constrained by the mundane demands of industry. Master craftsmen and in some cases absolute wizards.

Well done ! It is good to hear of such collections being saved. Over a period of time I managed to build up a collection from the late 40s to present day, with some volumes back to 1919 and reprints of Vs 1,2,3. Noel.

I saw the latest edition has using your lathe as a mill. I wonder how many times that’s appeared 🙂
