Welcome to the world of E. & J. Winter Model Engineering Supplies. Since 1978 Ernest and Joan have been servicing the requirements of fellow Model Engineers in Australia, New Zealand and other countries, continuing a tradition established in 1922 by the late O. Burnaby Bolton, regarded by many as the father of model engineering in Australia. Ernest and Joan have close connections with the model engineering fraternity and with our long experience are able to supply most of the necessities from our extensive stocks, drawn whenever possible from Australian sources. We also keep in stock a large selection of imported goods not available from other Australian sources and we invite you to peruse our stock list by clicking the appropriate link. Our main products are our plans and castings for Australian and British live steam locomotive designs, stationary and marine steam engines, IC engines, technical and Model Engineering books, tooling, fasteners (nuts, bolts, screws and rivets), materials in the hard to get small sizes and quantities, our boiler building service, and machining service. New designs in most categories are being added to our range from time to time. Designs that appear in the major Model Engineering magazines are included as demand dictates but our main area of interest is in the design of new Australian steam locomotives for the most popular 5" gauge. Fully detailed plans are made by Ernest, drawing on a background of engineering draughting, full size marine and locomotive steam, including 20 years active participation in heritage steam railway operation and maintenance, resulting in authentic and professional quality drawings. Our foundry patterns are then professionally made by a highly skilled tradesman patternmaker and all castings offered are made by mainstream professional foundries. A new line of both large and small stationary engines and boilers is now being introduced to compliment the ever-popular designs by O. Burnaby Bolton, whose aging plans and patterns are being progressively upgraded to suit modern expectations as time permits. The most popular O.B.Bolton designs No.2, No.5, No. 10, No.14, No.27 and B6-3 boiler have already been attended to and fully detailed construction manuals have been written for engines No.5, No.7 and B6-3 Boiler. Manuals for No.2 and the new HSE-1 stationary engine are presently in production. These manuals are very popular and make the task of absolute beginners a great deal easier and more pleasurable.
