I have a question about machine work.
Please tell me how to cut and mill coupling rods in the lathe or milling

(in the Project Book on page14).

Jun,

I would advise that you find the book "A Beginner's Guide to Model Steam 
Locomotives" by Tim Coles.  This book shows the procedures for making all 
parts of a model steam locomotive, with excellent photographs and good 
explanations.  Sometimes he makes jokes only an Englishman will laugh at, 
but the technical advice is understandable.

It is published by Tee Publishing, and available from many hobby suppliers.  
Their web address is http://www.fotec.co.uk/mehs/tee/
