I have been culling my model engineer collection and have over 520 duplicate issues I'd like to sell. If you want to get really good at making model engines, to really accelerate your work, there is no better way than to read direct how-to accounts of the most skill practitioners. Unlike books (that certainly have their place), the journals walk you through constructing specific parts and projects as well as just lots of info on steam and IC.
Whether you ever make the specific thing doesn't matter, having an experienced builder walk you through and explain greatly contributes to your knowledge and understanding; there's millions of hours of experience in these pages. That's the approach I took. I realized as an amateur I'd never get the hours of experience a pro gets so to get good I need to accelerate the learning and there is no better way than reading these journals. These are duplicates, I wouldn't sell my collection, its too valuable a resource - but here's a chance for you to start yours.
here's what i have (btw the early stuff is gold, from the glory days of model engineering, LBSC, Geometer, Westbury, Turpin etc)

PM if you're interested, open to offers.
PS..... hope is for a bulk sale, I'll sell individual issues if it doesn't break a volume or long run of issues. Bulk pricing will be attractive, individual issue pricing will be like a used book store
PSS i'm in Toronto re local pickup but will ship
