A book Czech model engines maps history of amateur and professional construction of model engines in the Czech Republic roughly since 40. of the last century. Nearly 300 model engines are described in detail in 160 pages. There are amateur engines of piece production and also motors produced in big series. Often they are a unique work of art, which document hand skills of the Czech modelers.
