Very nice.
It is nice to see an unmolested Mamod, running as nature intended.

I think it would take at least a triple header to haul a single flat-iron. Those things are bloody heavy! (& what's visible in the video is a fraction of my dad's collection, although he didn't seem to appreciate my suggestion of melting then down to make track...)
