    This title gives a fascinating survey of the different kinds of toy steam engines of the stationary type, and especially those produced during the heyday of steam toys between 1900 and 1930. Dealing mainly with the German manufacturers, the pioneers of the mass-produced steam toys, it explains how the engines work, gives advice about operating and maintaining them and contains useful information about identifying and dating vintage models. The manufacturers and retailers who played a leading part in the production and distribution of steam toys are described, and a brief reference is made to manufacturers who are still making toy steam engines. This will be an excellent reference book for steam enthusiasts of all ages.

    Reader Reviews
    I love live steam engines -This booklet shows toys of yesteryear as well as current toy / model engines available today. See my review on the Jensen Steam Engine Dry Fuel Heated 76 sold on Amazon - although this model is not in the book its big brother the Jensen Model 10with power plant is - The book has B&W pictures. It is not a price guide or a catalog of complete lines of toy steam engines just in case you are a collector or dealer. It just gives a flavor of what was/is available. My favorite is the rare Meccano engine circa 1929 for use with an Erector set.
