Martin Evans (1916 – 29 December 2003) was influential in the field of model engineering and locomotive design, and also worked as the technical editor and eventually managing editor of the English magazine Model Engineer.
[1] His editorship, along with other changes in staff, helped keep the magazine on track after experiencing some decline following the death of locomotive designer Curly Lawrence.
[3] An erudite editor, Evans worked with a pool of other knowledgeable contributors during a time considered to be the height of British toolroom engineering.
Some of the castings used to machine and build these designs are still available from a few commercial suppliers as are some of the laser cut components.
[4][5][6] Some of the earlier designs along with discussion threads among engineers of locomotive models can be seen in various web forums on the internet.
