A Passion for Steam by Marc Horovitz

A Passion for Steam, by Garden Railways Editor Marc Horovitz, is the book that everyone interested in "garden size" live-steam locomotives should have. It provides a history of the development of small steam engines and describes in detail how they work, covering boilers, burners, cylinders, valve gears, fittings, and much more, in all their variations. It also includes an extensive gallery of steamers from the author's collection, with a technical description of each along with its running characteristics!
