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.

at the price ruling at the time of despatch.
