The design was serialised in \"Model Engineer\" and a book published on how to build the engine - however reading about how to do it is one thing, actually building one is something else entirely. The design remains something of an Everest for would-be builders, complete examples are vanishingly thin on the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThis one was built by a highly experienced man, a retired professional engineer with many fine engines to his credit.
