Excerpt from Model Engine Construction: With Practical Instructions to Artificers and Amateurs
All these drawings may be thoroughly relied upon as being correct, and in one Or two instances, by doubling the dimensions over all, a larger and more powerful working engine can be made.

Excerpt from Model Engine Construction: With Practical Instructions to Artificers and Amateurs
Having had some experience in the construction of model steam-engines, I publish this work for the purpose of giving a few practical instructions to Artificers, but more especially to Amateurs who wish to make a working model steam-engine, provided they be supplied with the proper tools, and only know how to set about it. I commence by enumerating the necessary tools, giving the average price of a few of them, take up the boilers and their fittings, with engine details, show how to work up the separate parts from their castings, fit these together, and erect a horizontal engine and test it under steam. All this is minutely described, as it forms the groundwork for the construction of all the other engines. I next give examples of the different types of engines, Stationary, Locomotive, and Marine, as well as how to make a carriage and a model railway.
