Book Description
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. Stan Bray is an experienced craftsman in engineering
and metalworking; among his previous books is Metalworking: Tools and Techniques.
