Building a Marine Compound Engine Leak £ 6.95 • (F) A 3" x 5" x 3" compound engine is hardly a model, and the engine whose construction is described here will drive a boat with a 25' - 35' hull. However, Arthur Leak did design it so that it could be built by on, more or less, standard model engineers' equipment. This book is based on the designer's articles, which appeared in Model Engineer in 1982 and 1983, duly amended in the light of subsequent history, with pictures re-scanned (plus extras) and newly laid out. The author assumed that such an engine wouldn't be tackled by a beginner, and took a reasonable level of machining ability for granted. The book is clearly of use to any builder of this engine, especially in its descriptions of jigs, but its general words of wisdom and guidance mean it will appeal to builders of any size of marine compound - or to 'armchair' modellers as something different. 42 A4 format pages. Main drawings. 44 B&W photos. Softcover. Camden (we can supply full drawings and castings for this engine - see ‘Drawings and Castings’ on the Home Page)

The Tesla Disc Turbine Cairns • £ 5.90 • (G) Slightly amended second edition. Nikola Tesla is famous for the Tesla Coil, but another of his inventions is the subject of this book and had nothing to do with electricity, other than as a possible means of generating it. This was his Disc Turbine for which a British Patent, which also covered a compressor variant, was granted in 1910. Unlike a conventional turbine, in which the rotor consists of bladed segments, in Tesla’s machine these were replaced by discs, working on the concept of flowing media being converted to rotary motion by friction working on the discs. Tesla claimed that a very small, but extremely powerful machine was possible using this principle - his aim was to produce a 25 hp machine that would fit inside a bowler hat. Here W. Cairns describes in detail the concept, and the history, of the original engines. He then proposes a number of uses for such turbines, including car and light aircraft use, all of which illustrate the extraordinary versatility of Tesla’s engine. Finally he provides the design and building instructions for a small Tesla turbine which any model engineer should be able to build. Not only does a Tesla Turbine provide a very high power to size ratio, it can be used as a compressor or pump. Tesla used steam on his test machines, and the model featured here would probably be run on compressed air, but the gas turbine principle can also be used; this really is a remarkably versatile machine. This versatility means that ninety four years after the original Patents were granted there are signs of re-awakened interest in Tesla’s machine, as many of the original problems can be overcome with modern materials. What is really exciting is that any revival can be boosted by individual experimenters- here is the place to start! High quality. 34 A4 format pages. Numerous drawings and sketches, including 6 pages of drawings specifically for a small Tesla turbine you can build. Paperback. Camden

Building the Tesla Turbine Gingery • £ 6.60 • (H) As we know from sales of The Tesla Disc Turbine interest in these wonderous machines is high, possibly helped by the fact they are pretty simple to make. Whilst it does give some historical background, the main purpose of this book is to show you how to build your own Tesla turbine, in this case a fairly big machine having eighteen 3” diameter discs, and measuring 31?2” wide by 6” long x 4” high. This may not sound large, but these fascinating machines pack quite a wallop, Tesla himself aiming for “ten horsepower to the pound of weight”. As a guide to a straightforward and quick project, which results in something quite spectacular, this excellent book from Vince Gingery is hard to beat. 48 pages, 46 drawings and photographs.

Steam Trains.... In Your Garden Wilson • £31.95 • (A)
All the way from Oz comes this, quite simply, brilliant book showing you how to build a 16mm gauge live steam locomotive, plus some passenger and freight rolling stock. If you have always dreamt of building a real steam locomotive, have a lathe (which needn't be big) and some patience, then you can build your dream from this book. Is it as good as Kozo's books later? It is on a par, and the model is smaller, simpler and cheaper. The locomotive on which the design here is based is a 2' gauge John Fowler 0-4-0 shipped to Australia in 1923, but as is admirably shown in this book, the basic design can be modified to Hunslet, Peckett, even Decauville outline. And it can be built for gas or coal firing. 189 beautifully produced pages with full drawings, sketches of set-ups and loads of colour photos. Welcome to the world of live steam! Hardbound. AME

The Shop Wisdom of Jesse Livingston ed. McKinley • £31.50 • (B) Others in the Shop Wisdom series will be found in the ‘Engineering’ section, as they concentrate on workshop equipment and ideas, but this one contains full drawings and building instructions for three stationary engines, one a Bernays Engine, plus two 71?2” gauge steam locomotives, both easily amended to 71/4” gauge. One is a vertical boilered, vertical (oscillating) engined loco., the other is a scale model of a Filer & Stowell 0-4-0 tender logging locomotive. These were the only successful full size steam locomotives to be fitted with oscillating cylinders, so this is a fascinating project - as are the other models. Plus there are some linked sections, one on foundry work, another on making a tube roller and yet another on scaling plans from photos. 172 pages culled from Live Steam magazine. Hardbound.

THE DESIGNS OF KOZO HIRAOKA
'How to Build' books for the 21st century model engineer!
In my totally biased opinion, the Japanese designer Kozo Hiraoka is the best model locomotive designer writing today, and perhaps the best there has ever been. Because English is not his native tongue, Kozo makes extensive use of drawings, rather than text, to show machining or assembly operations and these makes his books extremely clear, especially for the beginner. All his designs are for 31/2" gauge, but include aids to help building them in larger gauges, and the geared engines do not require castings. The Switcher design calls for wheel castings, but these can be fabricated. All his designs to date have been described in Live Steam magazine, and the books are taken from these articles - all include full drawings, albeit in half size. Four of his five designs to date are based on American logging geared locomotives, but one is a conventional rod engine. Not only are all five great projects in their own right, these are fantastic books for the beginner or more experienced model engineer to have on their shelves, whether they build the locomotive(s) described or not. All very well laid out and printed books, but it is the quality of the contents that sets them apart.
With all due respect to the great designers of the past - Greenly, Evans, LBSC, Young and others, Kozo Hiraoka's books are those most suitable for the 21st Century's newcomers to model engineering; even if you have only just bought your first lathe, drilling machine and (ideally) milling machine, and have never used them before, with patience and time you can build a working model steam locomotive from any of these books.
Kozo's five books, all published by Village Press and hardback, are:
Building the Shay Hiraoka • £ 38.95 • (A) The author’s homeis a flat where hobby space is limited, which influenced his choice of gauge and prototype - a Shay consists of a number of small sub-assemblies, with the boiler being the largest individual item. Kozo also wanted a prototype that could be built without castings and everything on this engine is fabricated, or turned from the solid. The drawings are very detailed, but what sets this book apart are the instructions on how to build individual parts, often using a series of drawings to illustrate sequence etc. The main drawings are metric. 194 pages. Drawings, numerous photos of set ups, and numerous sketches.

Building the Heisler Hiraoka • £ 38.95 • (A) Like the Shay a geared engine, the Heisler differs in that the power unit is a V twin driving a central drive shaft to the outer bogies, the axles of which are connected by driving rods. In quality and extent this book is similar to the Shay one - Great! Full drawings, numerous photos and sketches of set ups.

Building the Climax Hiraoka • £38.95 • (A) This is Kozo’s manual on building the third (and prettiest) of the three geared engines - the Climax. Usual incredibly high quality presentation, and here including a description of how you can make your own skew-bevel gears - an operation previously thought impossible on an amateur model engineers equipment.

The Pennsylvania A3 Switcher Hiraoka • £ 38.95 • (A) This project is a conventional rod locomotive, based on a small American prototype - an 0-4-0 tender locomotive the Pennsylvania Railroad used for shunting tightly curved locations. It shares common characteristics with Kozo’s other designs in that it is designed for 31?2” gauge, but can be scaled up to 7 1?4” gauge, involves no castings other than possibly the driving wheels, everything being built from the solid or fabricated. The drawings are imperial, and the descriptions are, as always brilliant,being mainly illustrative drawings rather than text. This engine is a great first project for the beginner, but will also be of interest to all model locomotive builders. 264 pages. Numerous drawings (including all the locomotive drawings) and photographs. Hardbound.

Building the New Shay Hiraoka • £38.95 • (A) In this book, which he says will be his last full construction project description, Koza comes fill-circle, returning to his first locomotive type - the Shay geared locomotive. However this design is based on a much later design of Shay, dating from the 1920s, and is both slightly larger than the first design, but includes the improvements which were brought in during the 30 or so years since the previous prototype was built. If it is possible, this book is even more detailed than the earlier ones, and it also includes extra chapters on building the design in 71?4” or 71?2” gauges, the safety of copper boilers, safety valves, tube joints, O-rings for live steam use, and making small hexagonal screws. 326 pages in all, including a number of fold out ones.

All these prices include VAT and delivery in the U.K., and are for the exact specification of gears given in the books.
Building the Allchin Hughes • £17.95 • (C) The 1.5” scale Allchin has always been a very popular model traction engine project for model engineers, perhaps because Bill Hughes built-in a huge amount of detail in the drawings. This is the book of the original series in ME, reprinted for the umpteenth time, and a boon to builders of the model. The full drawings are included, but are extremely small and difficult to read in places. Loads of photos and sketches. 256 page paperback. Midlands Media Ltd.

The Steam Donkey Engine Harris • £10.35 • (F) Steam Donkeys were effectively self-contained steam winches, mounted on sleds, and used by the American and other logging industries, for a whole list of things, including powering skylines, pile driving and the like. Having gears and clutches to the winding drum they make an interesting project, and this 11/2" scale version would also make an interesting demonstration piece. Fitted with twin 1" x 1" cylinders, Stuart castings, or can be fabricated, although it assumed the gears will be bought (from Boston Gear; see their website - www.bostongear.com - for distributors in most countries). This book is based on articles in Live Steam magazine, which were reprinted about 10 years ago as part of a limited edition book called Logging with Steam. 54 pages with full drawings, photos and construction details. Paperback. Village Press.

Falk No. 1 Locomotive Harris • £10.35 • (F) Another extract from Logging with Steam, here are the drawings and building instructions for a delightful small 0-4-0 shunting engine, complete with its own winch; in 1 1?2” scale it is just 22” long. As described the model is gas-fired and for 7 1?2” gauge, so some reworking will be required by many builders outside the U.S.A., but you will end up with an unusual model. 63 pages with full drawings, photos and construction details. Paperback. Village Press.

Building a Single-shot, Falling-block Rifle Action Mueller • £ 12.95 • (G) Originally published in The Home Shop Machinist magazine during 1994-5, this gunsmithing project for firearms enthusiasts is proving very popular in book form. As described, the instructions are for the action, and no other part of a rifle; the author built his action into a calibre .225 Winchester target rifle. It is an interesting project without barrel etc for the model engineer and can be taken further by gunsmiths, but it is up to you to check the legal implications if you this. 41 page, magazine format book with full drawings and instructions and 18 photos.

Building the Bentley BR2 World War 1 Rotary Aero Engine Blackmore • £ 15.95 • (D) First published by Australian Lew Blackmore in 1986, after he had won the Duke of Edinburgh Challenge Trophy with his model of this engine at the 1982 ‘Model Engineer Exhibition’, I believe this is still the only book describing the construction of a large scale, working model of a real aero engine. Modelling the BR2 does make a fascinating and challenging project for the more experienced model engineer; it is also a popular one, as the number of examples that can be seen at exhibitions, and the fact that this is the fourth printing of the book, evidence. As well as being a satisfying project, the BR2 is also an economical one, as no castings are required. The book contains full drawings, as well as a detailed description of the construction methods used by the author, with numerous B & W photos of set-ups, parts and so on. It also includes a full reprint of the 1925 MoD descriptive handbook for the engine which will help those less familiar with rotary engines to understand their workings better. 95 pages. A4 format paperback. Camden.

Building the Maltese Falcon Shelley • £9.95 • (D) Want to build a BIG model I.C. engine? Well now you have the chance! Anyone who has read Jim Shelley’s The Magic of the Midlands and the Black Country, to be found in the “Aero Engines” section, will know that Jim has a passion for big model aircraft, in his case a 15 ft wingspan Taylorcraft, and he developed the Maltese Falcon to replace the 100cc Flymo two-stroke engine he used in this, which drove an undersized prop too fast, and which sounded wrong. The result is a 260cc Flat Four, Side Valve engine which turns a (scale) 34” x 18” propeller at 2500 rpm, and measures 8” in length and depth, and 13” in width across the heads. Essentially designed to be built from solid, Jim can supply certain parts, notably a magneto kit, and standard Honda pistons can be used if you want to get your Maltese Falcon running as quickly as possible - parts suppliers are listed. Whilst not a beginner’s project, this engine can be built by any competent model engineer, and even if you just build one as your next project, will give you the satisfaction of blowing the club away, when you finally demonstrate it at an “On the Table” Club Night! And, of course, having built the engine, you could then horrify the neighbours by building a giant model aircraft for it to power! But what really intrigues me about the Maltese Falcon is what else you could drive with it, in some cases with modifications to the cooling arrangements; large scale model road vehicles, notably a large scale model tractor, and 71?4” gauge railway motive power, but an outboard motor, a GT lawn mower and a motor bike would also all seem possible for the clever amongst you. In this book you get the full drawing set of 11 sheets, reduced in size to fit A3 format, and 36 A4 pages of notes, hints and tips on building the engine, plus numerous photos of parts and set-ups for making them; this isn’t a construction manual in the sense of “Building the Bentley BR2....”, but it is all good solid information aimed at helping the builder to make a ‘model’ I.C. engine which really will make people’s jaws drop!

Building the Atkinson Differential Engine Gingery • £ 13.95 • (E) If you fancy something really different for your next project, you should consider this or the following book seriously. During the 1870s, manufacturers of IC engines, then in their infancy, were frustrated by the dominant position of the Otto 4-cycle engine and its associated patents. One of the few engineers to design engines which successfully avoided Otto’s patents was the Englishman James Atkinson who patented his “Differential Engine” in 1885. The unique feature of this engine, and his “Cycle” engine which followed it, was their ability to complete all 4 strokes (intake, compression, power & exhaust) in a single revolution of the crank with the whole operation taking place in one cylinder. Atkinson also managed to achieve what no other designer has done since: an expansion stroke double that of the intake. In this brilliant book, Vince Gingery not only describes in detail how to build a model of this fascinating machine, but also gives an insight into the mind of a largely forgotten Victorian genius. Like all projects from Vince (and his father Dave), it starts from basics and assumes you will make your own patterns. However, if you don’t want to do this, the pattern plans can be used to work from the solid - the largest item is the 9” diameter flywheel. You then get step-by-step descriptions of the machining and making of all components, and on setting the engine up to run. All Gingery books are good; buy this and start an intriguing project! 112 page large format paperback, crammed with drawings, sketches and photos. David J. Gingery Publishing.
