The Future of Model Engineer and Model Engineers’ Workshop magazines.

[Neil WyattModerator @neilwyatt]

I have been asked to let forum members know of a big change affecting of Model Engineer and Model Engineers’ Workshop magazines.

After almost thirty-five years, the decision has been made to re-combine the spin-off title Model Engineers’ Workshop into Model Engineer.

The new title will be monthly and continue the numbering of Model Engineer and will be titled Model Engineer & Workshop a nod to the magazine’s original title “The Model Engineer & Electrician” as well as MEW.

There are many different permutations of readership and subscriptions, complicated by around a quarter of the readership taking both titles. All subscribers will be contacted soon with full details of the changes.

The final copies of the existing magazines will appear during January 2025, with Model Engineer & Workshop appearing in February as the March 2025 issue.

For well over twenty-five years I’ve been a Model Engineer reader and for the last ten, Editor of Model Engineers’ Workshop magazine. Both magazines have benefited from their editors and writers being active model engineers themselves. It’s both an honour and a huge responsibility to take on the task of bringing together these two magazines – the incredible heritage behind Model Engineer and the tools and techniques focus of MEW. I’m delighted that the new publication will have increased pagination, so that in one magazine we can cover the full scope of our incredible hobby, from steam power to gas turbines and treadle lathes to CNC milling and beyond.

That was the formal announcement.

Please try and keep any discussion here to issues around the merger itself.

I am about to start a separate thread for discussion of how to get the best balance of content under the new title.

Many thanks,

Neil

Are we going to see a big price hike?
