Making simple model steam engines, hardcover/stan bray

This book details the construction of a range of simple miniature steam engines and boilers.

The projects, each of which can be completed with only a basic workshop, range from a single-acting oscillator to more sophisticated twin-cylinder double-acting engines and a variety of boilers.

A final project brings together engine and boiler for a simple steam railway locomotive.

These projects are a perfect introduction to model engineering and an enjoyable exercise for the more experienced engineer or those who wish to pass on their hobby to a younger generation.
