279 forum posts 91 photos	Hi All, I recall in I think the last 10 years (dated from the time of our last major move) a short ME series describing the build of several stationary steam engines with the valve events controlled electronically - possibly solenoids but more likely steppers. I think the author made a basic single (or maybe a V-twin) and then multiplied it up into multi cylindered versions. Can anyone help with the articles? I have tried several searches but I am lacking a key word to add focus. @Michael G, I await your response with anticipation Regards, Simon

279 forum posts 91 photos	Thanks Nick, The valve control certainly fits the bill but I recall multi-cylindered versions as well. Maybe I need to look through this article first. Simon
