The steam engine (PoD)

Functional models built by yourself with simple means

Pistons go back and forth, flywheels turn, brass parts flash and steam hisses - the fascination of the steam engine makes the eyes of seasoned men sparkle.

The team of authors Alfred Bachmann from Austria and Werner Baumgartner from Switzerland shows with genuine Viennese charm and Swiss precision how to build functional steam engines with quite ordinary tools and common materials. Thus, single- and double-acting engines, a steam fire engine and a steam tricycle, the steam tractor "Gitte", standing and lying boilers, a compressor and much more are created.

In addition, the modeler's eye will be sharpened for unusual bulky waste or flea market finds that, with a little imagination, can be transformed into magnificent steam engines. In addition, there is a wealth of tips and tricks from the authors' wealth of experience.

With this book, entry into the steam age is guaranteed to succeed.
