Slomo

So I have seen on YouTube videos of roundhouse engines and accucrafts with SSP Slomos fitted, so I just wondered if one could be fitted to a mamod?

I think a mamod might be too space constricted between the frames to fit a slomo but I know several people have fitted flywheel devices inside wagons for running behind errant mamods.

Have a look at this video I made trying to control a pre-production Thomas Telford. You can see the flywheel device I lashed together at about the 1.00 minute mark onwards.
