i think the idea of a steam engine is brilliant.
ive looked into building one before and found out my dad built one when he was doing his apprentaship. He had a book on working out the timing for it all, volume one of 3 all of which were the size of a bible, to be open source i dont think an old design steam engine is the right way to go. i saw an eppisode of scrp heap challenge that aired here maybe 2 year ago, they built their own steam engines and one used solenoid control and the like, to me thats the best way possible
