This free card model is offered by Bertschy's Paper Models, USA. It is based on a CAD drawing of a
Riches and Watts nominal 2˝ horsepower vertical A-frame double acting simple slide-valve steam
engine circa 1870-75. The CAD drawing was by Richard Adamek; the drawing is available as part of Richard's
Old Engine House website. The model is fully working, and can be run on a puff of air.
It used to be available on Ed's website at: http://www.home.earthlink.net/~eellbee/steam2.html With the disappearance of his website from the Internet, I.S.S.E.S. is offering it as a free service
to the steam engine and modeling community. (Ed had placed it in the public domain and encouraged others
to use, distribute, modify, add to and otherwise share it.)
