The book title should be changes to toy or model steam engines since there are no plans for anything but tiny engines.If you are looking for plans to build a steam engine that can actually do some work this book is not for you.If you are looking for plans to build a toy engine, these plans are not complete but a real machinist should be able to fill in the blanks and finish the design work and make something that will run for a little while.
