I'm very close to being able to actually use my lathe, and I'm searching out projects. I've become interested in model steam engines, but don't have a mill.
Anyone have any good plans for lathe-only steam engines?

Try the Elmer series of engines. There are a few basic, lathe only engines. You might want to try a website called johntom for some plans

If you want to add some versatility to your lathe, consider making a milling attachment for it. It mounts on the cross-slide and holds the work piece. You fasten an endmill in the chuck and you can do some basic milling. I had one on my first lathe - a Taig micro. There should be plenty of ideas on the internet and some of the guys here have made them.
