  • No. 1 Shop: Upgrading Small Motors for Performance

    Trevor Hughes

    Issue 22 (1988)

    p.109

    Faced with a need to provide a standard motor for a range of small, narrow gauge engines, Trevor Hughes was forced to draw on his own resources. Here he shows how he upgraded a cheap, 'five-shilling' motor to a specification equalling the performance of the early Sagami can motors.

  • Scratch Building Techniques

    Trevor Hughes

    Issue 272 (2019)

    p.184

    A chance encounter led to a discussion on scratch building and a realisation that in the light of excellent RTR products and ongoing technological developments within the hobby, there is a concern that these skills are gradually being lost to modellers. However, we firmly believe that such techniques still have a valuable role to play in our activities.

    Trevor Hughes is an avid scratch builder - a member of Manchester MRS 2mm scale team responsible for 'Chee Tor', an exhibitor at MRJ Central Hall in 1990, and a long-term collaborator with Peter Kazer, whose excellent work has featured recently in these pages. Here, Trevor outlines some of his methods of working with sheet metal and gives some advice on gears and gearboxes.
