My pre-production Mamod

Post by steamyjim » Thu Oct 18, 2007 9:39 am

This mock up of the new Mamod loco was sent out to dealers such as Forest-Classics. The model was never designed to work and is in fact terribly made. But me being one for prototypes and odd engines aquired it :lol:

Apart from the lack of batch number no difference.
Although it has now had milton cylinders and has been done up considerably
