Book Synopsis
Model engineers have been making models of internal combustion engines since the invention of the real thing, but it has always been surrounded by a mystique, and a perceived difficulty that has put many people off. This book sets out to show that any competent model engineer can make a working model petrol engine, and that there is nothing more difficult than would be encountered in the construction of an average steam engine. A comprehensive guide to building model internal combustion engines. Often perceived as a difficult craft by many people, this guide will be welcomed by beginners and experienced model engineers alike. Fully illustrated with 176 black & white and 20 colour photographs. Malcolm Stride has been building model engines since his teenage days and is a well-known contributor to Model Engineer magazine.
