I've just received Model Engineer Vol. 231 No. 4725. On the reverse side of the 'Smoke Rings' page there's an advert for Classic magazines with a picture of a rather splendid green single-cylinder vertical steam mill-engine with an unusual cross-head. Can anyone identify this for me please ? Is it available as drawings or castings, and has there been a construction series for it in any of the magazines ?

That's Anthony Mount's design for James Booth's Rectilinear Engine. Castings and drawings available from Polly/Bruce.

It was also covered in EiM many moons ago and was the first engine of many that Anthony has now done.

Can be built from scratch in which case a better buy than the drawing is his book "Historic Engines Worth Modelling " Vol 1 which ha sthe drawings and Text from the original EiM series
