Building Simple Model Steam Engines: Book 2 Review: Gift for Father - I got this book as a gift for my father on his birthday. He really enjoyed it! He hasn't tried to build one yet but he is eager to do so. Review: Some simple steam projects - I received the 2020 printing of the 2002 edition of this book. Shipped from England with no problems in a nice heavy paper envelope. I haven't made anything from the book yet, but it seems straight forward with pretty good instructions in addition to clear plans and drawings, and some photos of the finished projects. Boilers as well as engines are included. One confusing thing is that dimensions are given in inches, drill sizes for holes are metric, and threads and fasteners are British threads, so some extra figuring will need to bee done for us residing the USA. I figure on converting the thread sizes to more common American threads and getting some metric drill bits to make it simpler to build one of the engines. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #619,244 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #231 in Railroads (Books) #266 in Model Building #8,838 in Engineering (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (79) | | Dimensions | 5.8 x 0.26 x 8.3 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 1854861476 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1854861474 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 112 pages | | Publication date | January 10, 1998 | | Publisher | Special Interest Model Books | ## Images ![Building Simple Model Steam Engines: Book 2 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Pim+4e3bL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gift for Father *by S***U on July 29, 2024* I got this book as a gift for my father on his birthday.

It does have four new projects. One of them is a turbine, something new and completely different. ## Frequently Bought Together - Building Simple Model Steam Engines: Book 2 - Building Simple Model Steam Engines - Making Simple Model Steam Engines --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/187093146-building-simple-model-steam-engines-book-2](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/187093146-building-simple-model-steam-engines-book-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
