Although out of print for twenty-four years a box has been located by the publisher. This early version has been making a ridiculous price on online auction sites.Dick Mason's step-by-step series in making a Fairbanks-Morse model is an excellent guide to stationary engine model making in general.
This superb book covers: Fairbanks-Morse Eclipse, IHC Mogul 8-16, Corn Mill, Red Wing, Romper and Schoenner Gas Engines, Fairbanks-Morse Z Type, Hercules, Otto, Bamford, Hubbard Marine, Tips & Casting Kits.
