Steam-powered workshops as model

The use of steam engines to drive machine tools was the cornerstone of the first industrial revolution, and it was only the use of electric motors that made the complicated - and not entirely harmless - transmissions superfluous. No wonder, then, that model makers are also fascinated by such workshops with their complex mechanics. But how do you build such a workshop? Can you build it yourself? Or can commercially available components be used to create an attractive steam workshop? Volker Koch answers these questions and many more in his extensively illustrated book, which revives a fascinating piece of technical history.
