"Model Engine News" (MEN) is an Australian website devoted to model engine history and model engine construction. It was started and mainatained by my late Aussie mate Ron Chernich of Brisbane. It is a real treasure trove of information on model engines and the people who designed and built them, also featuring numerous extremely informative articles on the home construction of a wide variety of engines.

I began contributing articles on model engine history to MEN way back in 2007. My "Engine of the Month" series remains accessible on the site through the Finder function, along with many other articles which cannor fail to interest anyone who loves model engines. All of my articles on MEN are linked on this website from the Gallery pages.

Unfortunately, the MEN site is heavily encrypted and Ron left us very prematurely in 2013 without passing on any of the coding required to get past the encryption.  Accordingly, while the site remains accessible today (albeit with some degree of progressive degradation over time since no maintenance is possible), it remains frozen as it was when Ron passed away. It is for this reason that I established my own site in 2014 in order to carry on building upon Ron's work to the best of my ability.

If you haven't already discovered Ron's wonderful site, I highly recommend that you do so! It can't fail to inform and delight any true model engine aficionado!
