A side valve (flat head) engine is an engine is where the camshaft and crankshaft is both at the bottom of the engine block, the valves are also fitted in the engine block and the cylinder head is flat with the sparkplugs standing upright in the cylinder head.

Brian, David Kerzel has drawings for his Horizontal Hit and miss engine 1 on the web, on page 11 there is a method for machining a cam.

It is also possible to do with an end mill if the camshaft is set horizontally in dividing head or rotary table.

Hit and Miss model engine it is stated in the link at you can use for free, not sell, copyright maintained, etc.

Someone posted a link recently for the old john-tom site. the plan is on there. https://web.archive.org/web/20220123220452/http://www.john-tom.com/html/ElmersEngines.html

I have the 35 Steam pump plans previously downloaded from John Tom website, if there is no legal reason why it cannot be posted here, I will post it. It was a free download from John Tom. The moderators must please comment.

I have had good results with a self made gear hob cutter, instructions on the web. see link www.jeffree.co.uk/pages/multi-tooth-gear-cutter.htm

Someone might have tried to make a compressor of the engine. There seem to be a v-belt pulley groove on the attachment next to the flywheel, a pipe coming from the injector position and a nonreturn valve( might also just be a T) in the pipe.

There is plans for a roller similar to Rudy's Copperhead steamroller by Julius de Waal, see link. https://modelengineeringwebsite.com/Coffee_pot_roller_2.html

Stoogroep Holland also have plans for a smaller steam truck Endeavor. The gentleman at Steam and steam models (french) directed me to https://www.cav-escarbille.com but i have had no response fro them. Does anybody know if the website is still active?

Thanks, there is a truck of a different configuration that suits my skills better. There is also a large amount of information on the site.
