==Notable model engineers==
Each year, many local and regional model engineering shows and exhibitions are held wherever clubs are found, which recognize the best work of model engineers. The largest exhibitions are held in London, Harrogate and Bristol in the UK. In the UK, the Duke of Edinburgh Challenge Trophy, awarded annually at the Model Engineer Exhibition, reflects some of the best of the hobby. Pre-eminent among the Trophy's recipients is nine-time winner Cherry Hill.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Carpenter|first1=David|title=Cherry's Model Engines: the story of the remarkable Cherry Hill|url=http://modelengineeringwebsite.com/Cherrys_Model_Engines.html|website=Model Engineering Website}}</ref> On the web, the quality of some modern model engineers' work is celebrated at The Internet Craftsmanship Museum.

Many of the best-known names in model engineering are of those who wrote prolifically in the model engineering press. [[Henry Greenly]] may be the first notable model engineer, being founding editor of ''Model Railways and Locomotives Magazine'' in 1902 and author of ''Model Engineering'' and related books.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Greenly|first1=Henry|title=Model Engineering|date=1915|publisher=Cassell & Co.|location=London}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last1=Greenly|first1=Henry|title=The Model Locomotive: its design and construction|date=1904|publisher=Percival Marshall|location=London|url=https://archive.org/details/modellocomotive00greegoog}}</ref> Greenly produced a number of designs for spirit-fuelled model locomotives, which however could not haul passengers. Arguably the most notable model engineer of all was the obscure [[Curly Lawrence|'LBSC' (Lillian "Curly" Lawrence)]]. His most significant contribution was to overturn Greenly's prevailing orthodoxy and demonstrate that model locomotives of even small gauge (2½") could be powerful enough to haul passengers, by using miniature coal-fired [[Fire-tube boiler|firetube boilers]], as were used in full-size locomotives. From 1923 until his death in 1967 he popularized passenger-hauling miniature live steam locomotives that could be built with minimal equipment, by publishing over 50 locomotive designs in various gauges, serialized mostly in ''[[Model Engineer]]'' magazine.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Hollingsworth|first1=Brian|title='LBSC' His Life and Locomotives|date=2003|publisher=Camden Miniature Steam Services|location=Somerset, UK|isbn=0-9536523-5-1|edition=2nd}}</ref>

Many other model engineers have contributed numerous designs notable for their enduring popularity. Prior to the appearance of ''Engineering in Miniature'' magazine in 1979 and [[Model Engineers' Workshop]] in 1990, these authors wrote almost exclusively in ''Model Engineer''. Among these, [[Edgar T. Westbury]] produced many internal combustion engine designs, W.J. Hughes designed many agricultural and traction engine models. 
[[C. E. Bowden|Colonel C. E. Bowden]] will be remembered as one of the most prolific experimenters with model aircraft, model boats and radio control, particularly his successes in powered model flight co-operating with E. T. Westbury, who made the Atom Minor engine that powered several of his early models. [[Martin Evans (model engineer)|Martin Evans]] produced a great many more model locomotive designs, George H. Thomas specialised in designs for workshop accessories, [[Tubal Cain (model engineer)|Tubal Cain (T. D. Walshaw)]] developed a number of stationary engine designs, and Claude B. Reeve<ref>{{cite web|last1=Anon.|title=Reeve Ornate Regulator|url=http://modelengineeringwebsite.com/Reeve_regulator.html|website=Model Engineering Website}}</ref> produced many clock designs. [[Ian Bradley]] and [[Norman Hallows]] wrote individually and together under the pen-name of [[Duplex (model engineer)|Duplex]] on a wide range of topics, notably finely finished and ingenious tooling. Don Young contributed locomotive designs to ''Model Engineer'' and then published his own quarterly live steam magazine ''Locomotives Large and Small'' from 1979 until his death in 1994.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=de Bank|first1=John|title=Don Young - an appreciation|journal=Model Engineer|date=15 July 1994|volume=173|issue=3973|page=80}}</ref> More recently, Kozo Hiraoka has authored several series of logging locomotive articles in the U.S. magazine ''[[Live Steam magazine|Live Steam]]''. [[Cherry Hill (model engineer)|Cherry Hill]] was notable for her small-scale working models of unusual early steam vehicles.<ref>(2021, November 15).
