I keep saying this over and over again.
The people that have the skill to produce articles like these have more skill in one little finger than all these highly paid arty farty types. Yet they never get the true recognition, and most don't even want it. They get their enjoyment from making the articles and showing them amongst a like minded audience.
We have a lady in the UK called Cherry Hill (a true lady, as bestowed on her a few years ago for contributions to engineering), in her younger days she could easily have become almost whatever she wanted to, but decided to pursue her dreams of making perfect replica steam engines, why? no one knows, as she has very rarely been photographed or interviewed, but almost every year she releases another one of her superb engines. They are so well researched and made, engineering students use them for study and research purposes.
Here is a rare pic of my unsung hero Cherry, from 1968, and she is still making suberb models now.
