Description
Stan Bray's Making Simple Model Steam Engines offers a comprehensive guide to building a range of uncomplicated miniature steam engines. The book begins with a simple model based on the first recorded steam engine, progressing through increasingly complex designs that are still accessible to beginners. The featured models include oscillating engines, single-acting and double-acting types, as well as a clapper engine known for its distinctive noise. All of these require a boiler to operate, which is also covered in the book, starting with simple designs and moving on to more sophisticated vertical boilers. Plans and drawings are included for each model, along with metric and imperial measurements to suit modellers of all ages and preferences. The models can be built using minimal workshop equipment, making them ideal for those with limited space or resources. The book also provides plans for regulators and safety valves, ensuring that builders have everything they need to complete their projects.
