Written at the end of the nineteenth century and catered toward beginners, Model Engine-Making is a fascinating and comprehensive guide to building your first steam engine.

Included inside this classic book are over 100 detailed diagrams, drawn by the author, to illustrate the process of building nine different engines. Whether you are a model engine aficionado or love learning about the history of steam engines, this long-standing classic should be in your library.
