Mrs Steel produced the drawings for her father, and for the magazine The Locomotive and also for Greenly's Model Steam Locomotives. It was after his marriage that Mr. Steel's interest in model locomotive engineering was revived, though it was not till after World War II that he was able to take an active part in the hobby. In 1960, when the unique and historic Ravenglass Railway was in danger of being closed down, Mr. Steel joined a group which contributed to its survival as a passenger-carrying railway in Cumbria. The author was a founder member of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway Preservation Society, a member of the Heywood Society, the Institution of Mechanical and Technician Engineers and an associate of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. He was also President of the STC (Paignton) Model and Engineering Society. Ernest Steel built up many contacts with model engineers abroad and lectured on the topic to various locomotive societies throughout England |
