As said enter the correct title "Scale Model Traction Engine Building" into the search on abe books site and hope you get the £30 one not the ones over £80

Or you could save your money as the magazines that had the build articles in them are on this site and the book is basically a collection of those articles.

Just increase the number at the end of the URL to get the next mag here

If you get the book you don't need the drawings, I built mine from just the book.

Jason,

Thanks for the link – that was fascinating browsing through some of those old magazines.

Are there any other projects available from old scanned magazines available on the site ? Is there a list somehwere or is that a one-off for this particular project ?

Neil – It is there in "Books" – I was just about to put it on when I saw this thread. So put it there also as thought it pertinent.
