@@JohnnySteam they were a marvellous company. As long as collectors like ourselves keep the engines going the legacy will live on.

Looking good now with some patina after it's run

@@johngibson3837 thank you :) it’s a great engine. I’ve since fitted a pressure gauge so will need to run it to test that. Not that I need an excuse :)

@@astravanmk2 that's the beauty of mamod just making them run and I don't mean powering themselves about (as a te1 might) as they didn't do that very well same with the belt attachments there's just not the power but my first one as a six year old did pretty good on mums lino tiled kitchen floor whilst leaving some sort off mess

@@Mike-kc8rl oh yes the SE3 is something else. I love this one it runs great. I might restore it one day.

Yes that’s me getting a bit giddy with the solid fuel. I don’t use it generally. 4 tabs in there. Not a problem as long as you keep arms and other appendages away from the flames.

@@kiwibootsy thank you very much. Glad to have you on board

@@metalman4141 I don’t remember saying it was better than a Wilesco at any point. I am primarily a mamod collector and I like them for what they are.

I love Mamod I have about four models of steam engines and boilers one of them I have had it for the last 60 years!!!! With all due respect it seems the owner have not moved with the times looking at the factory it looks disorganized with old flyball presses cam operated lathes from the 60's if you do not move with the times you have had it typical English mentality if it works don't change it!!!!!

@@astravanmk2 And I never for a minute said you had. I was pointing out the fact that Mamod remembers everything but learned nothing, you have to move with the times of go bust that’s all .

I know all about the solid fuel legislation. It’s a load of cobblers just a money making scheme. I’m just using up what I have left.

Thank you

Thanks Jim, such a great performer despite its appearance. It’s probably my favourite engine.

Thanks, it seems to have improved. The gas burner makes for a good steady runs.

They are hypnotic the old twin’s

My favourite Malins era engine. They never disappoint.

Wouldn’t that be fabulous a steam powered search engine. 😂

Thank you, no it is a German Bing 130/272 from around 1912.

Thanks John, it survives and I’m happy that it does.

Thanks so much, tonight will be the turn of the bowman m101.

Thanks John, it’s a charming little thing. I’ve never had one before.

Thank you kindly

Thank you, it’s getting better, few more little jobs to sort. Glad you liked the video.

I have made them before but try Tony Green Steam they do replica burners.

It’s an amazing engine it was found on Facebook marketplace in a poor state but mostly there. They are out there.

Agreed! I try get my kids to engage with tactile things. We enjoy running the Meccano steam models. The Ferris wheel is a firm favourite.

😂 we are personal friends with Will E Eckerslike & Co another stalwart team of half assed engineers.

Thank you, I’m definitely pleased with how this one turned out.

Thanks mate, turned out a treat has this. Finally got around to buying a mini torch. Wish I’d bit the bullet and bought one eons ago. Is yours built yet?

Thank you.

Thank you for your continued support :)

Many thanks for the support it is appreciated :)

A pleasure John :-) it’s not a real one sadly but my homage to it and Malins.

@@astravanmk2 It is a magnificent copy them Liam. Congratulations

Thank you kindly.

Thanks John. :)

Thank you :)
