Plans for a steam engine to make on the 7x mini lathe

Robert Schulke
 

I'm looking for plans to make a small, useful steam engine on the
mini-lathe. So far all the plans I've seen are either really small
(1/2 inch bore), or require a larger lathe. One that could be put
together from aluminum plate, pipe, bar, etc. would be great.
Castings would be OK so long as they could be finished on the
mini-lathe/mill. It should be able to produce at least 1 HP, and
ideally 5 for powering a small launch.

Thanks in advance!

Model Engine Builder Magazine has had many plans.
