+# Engine Models Examples
+
+These examples show how to register factories and define strongly typed contracts for core and server integrations.
+
+## EngineCoreFactory and EngineServerFactory
+
+```typescript
+import { EngineCoreFactory, EngineServerFactory } from '@twin.org/engine-models';
+import { EngineCore } from '@twin.org/engine-core';
+import { EngineServer } from '@twin.org/engine-server';
+
+EngineCoreFactory.register(
+  'default',
+  () => new EngineCore({ config: { debug: false, silent: true, types: {} }, skipBootstrap: true })
+);
+EngineServerFactory.register(
+  'default',
+  () => new EngineServer({ engineCore: EngineCoreFactory.get('default') })
+);
+
+const core = EngineCoreFactory.get('default');
+const server = EngineServerFactory.get('default');
+
+console.log(core.isStarted()); // false
+console.log(server.getRestRoutes().length); // 0
+```
+
+## IEngineCoreConfig and IEngineCoreTypeConfig
+
+```typescript
+import type { IEngineCoreConfig, IEngineCoreTypeConfig } from '@twin.org/engine-models';
+
+const loggingConnectorConfig: IEngineCoreTypeConfig<{ config: { prettyPrint: boolean } }> = {
+  type: 'console',
+  isDefault: true,
