4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for beginners, 22 Oct 2001

By	mbhh@tekmek.dk (D�sseldorf, Germany) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Building Simple Model Steam Engines: v. 2 (Paperback)

I love the writing style and humour of Tubal Cain. The book is a good introduction for anyone wanting to build steam engines. If you are a raw beginner in Model Engineering some parts can be a little hard to understand, but you don't have to be a pro to get enjoyment from the book. Some of the designs use castings which might not be available any more. However, the parts could be machined instead. A very enjoyable read.

This review is from: Building Simple Model Steam Engines: v. 2 (Paperback)

An excellant book that compliments the first book Simple Model Steam Engines,it has excellant and well laid out plans and drawings of differant steam engines which can easily be constructed on the small lathe.The Models are very nostalgic and once completed make excellant presents or gifts.Buy the book and add some more engines to your collection as ive done.
