4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for beginners, 22 Oct 2001
By mbhh@tekmek.dk (Düsseldorf, Germany) - See all my reviews
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.
