In the 1960's, if you were building a loco from scratch which wasn't adaptable from a Martin Lewis design the Winton catalog engineering section was considered the bible and many used it to design parts of their locos, especially boilers.

	Winton's engineering data is just as valuable today. It offers, among other things, tips on improving the performance of practically any steam locomotive. An additional article, written by Winton which originally appeared in the Nov/Dec 1954 edition of [[The Miniature Locomotive]], is included in this publication. It points out the importance of superheated steam and works through an example to compute the ratio of water to steam to maintain maximum operational capacity.
