Those of an engineering bent who wish to make a live steam model
have a basic choice between a railway locomotive, a stationery
engine, a marine engine or a traction engine in one form or
another. The locomotive needs a track, the marine engine a hull and
a stretch of water, but a traction engine can run on any area of
reasonable ground. Coupled with the enormous growth of interest in
preserving and running full-sized engines at agricultural shows and
steam rallies, it is no wonder that traction engine models are so
popular. In this book, John Haining, the doyen of traction engine
modelling, explains what is involved in the construction of working
steam models and outlines briefly the history and variety of such
engines. A degree of reader familiarity with normal machine work
and workshop practice is assumed, but even the inexperienced lathe
owner will easily follow the procedures with the aid of the many
clear illustrations provided by the author and will be encouraged
to try his hand at this fascinating branch of model engineering.
