This book provides all the information any ship modeller interested
in powering a model boat using live steam will need. It offers both
the basic theory covering the steam power plant and fully detailed
drawings for the construction of simple and advanced steam engines,
boilers and ancillary equipment. There has been a huge growth in
interest in live steam-powered model boats in recent years but
modellers have endured a dearth of practical construction drawings
for suitable steam plants. Here, the author covers many types of
engine from simple oscillating cylinder types to piston and poppet
valve engines and the application of radio control to the
management of the boiler and engine. The projects (which all
include detailed scale plans) include simple single cylinder
oscillating engines, multiple cylinder oscillating engines, single
and multiple cylindered slide valve engines, piston and poppet
valve engines, boiler construction and heat sources, control units,
reversing systems, radio control valves, and the mounting of engine
and boiler units into model boats.
