Building Simple Model Steam Engines Paperback – 31 Dec. 1998

Great value

Personally, I found the instructions difficult to follow and the diagrams - which have very thick line work - difficult to follow. What's more the assembly instructions were woefully lacking. I do not feel that I could assemble any of the projects in this book, even had I the proper equipment to do so.

What more can you say. Tubal is on his own when it comes to fantastic simple to make, great functional steam engines. I bought the Jenny Wren plans 35 years ago and made it at that time. It still works perfectly and looks the business.

What a delightful and well-explained book this is. It shows in simple terms how to build a working model steam engine and details how it works. If, like me, you'd like to start actually making engines this is a good and inexpensive place to start.

Nice little book for a beginner

bought as a Christmas present

OK - received wet when delivered - contents interesting - will try to recreate drawings using CAD/CAM

this book gives plans for small boilers and small steam engines, very good for beginners would highly recommend as a first project
