Nice steady runner, is it all as original or have you made any modifications to it?

MM Always nice to see Rosa in action. Are the new transfers copies of the Railway one or just the general Mamod one that Forest Classics sell.
If I come to STIA as a member of the public and come in my car then I can bring my Prescott Rolling Road as well.
steamyjim Have you got those Mamod Gauge 1 wheels to work yet?

Graham, you need a set of Gauge 'O' wheels then you will be able to run it.
Not sure if I've got enough left in my spares box to make a working set of Guage 'O' wheels but will have a look later.
Either that or get some LGB track which seems to be good for live steam running.

The decals on Rosa are the ones me and flywheel had made. I have the ones that Forest sell on my other loco!
We really need a rolling road at STIA because the layouts are too far away from the shed
Hope to see you there Chris!
Got any pictures of it Jim?

So are these decals a copy of the original white 'The Mamod Steam Railway Co.' one or one of the other Mamod decals that you offer on the Unofficial Mamod Forums.
I would certainly be interested in the white Railway transfers if they are available.

Just the ones off the normal mamod stationary models. I think someone on the mamod forums made some replica railway ones. I think it was
