Hi. I am interested in making a model steam locomotive, but before I start I would like to find out what's going on inside one. One book looks good to me: "How steam locomotives really work" by Semmens and Goldfinch. I have a background in Calculus and Statistics (to stage
1), but not Physics or Mechanical Engineering. Also I know how to drive and fire a steam locomotive, and a little about how they work (from Wikipedia). Would this book be a wise purchase?- posted
