Book Reviews of Making Simple Model Steam Engines

Book Review: Making Simple Model Steam Engines
Summary: 1 Stars

This title should have read "Making low quality osillating toy steam engines". There are no "MODEL" engine plans in this book, only toy engine plans. A model is a small copy of a real steam engine. A toy is a small working steam engine of no specific design.

Summary of Making Simple Model Steam Engines

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.
