I don't know if it's exactly the same engine, but free plans for a micro steam engine are here:

Beautiful! I've always loved these little "all in one" desk-engine setups. I think a fun way to go would be to keep the boiler small enough - or simply not put much water in it - so that you can go from cold to steam in just a minute or so. Those little alcohol lamps put out gobs of heat.
You could do all sorts of variations, from simple wobblers up to mine or beam engines, nicely painted and the like.
Oh yes, make the engine large enough so that it'll turn a tiny little fan! It's always fun to see them do real work.
