Don't think so, it's just a chap re-designing the mamod for fun, looks pretty darn good though :) .

I was only kidding, although there is a strong rumour online that Mamod had considered producing a Saddle Tank loco for the old Mamod Railway System.

Wonder if that is where MSS got the inspiration from to produce theirs?
