I think there is some confusion over who is taking their mamods to PTLR fest and who is taking them to Peterborough. I doubt those from the west of the country would be taking them to Peterborough...

I think mostly it's down to luck. For instance my surviving mamod is a bag of nails. Although it has an uprated boiler, gas burner, uprgraded wheels, displacement lubricator , SV, water top up & uprated cylinders it still performs no where as good as my old No 5 that I sold to Jack. That did have a gas burner & upgraded SV but was amazing & would trundle about for ever, well until I failed to sort out the steam chest leak anyway.Sir Clothem Cap:54007 wrote:hmm not so sure angus is unmodified and runs well but the newer pistons do make a difference as does gas firing and uprated safety valves but it does show mamods arn't just toys
Tommy Dodd may have an ARS key but I have a TASS button & a Rope Ladder, just like pirates, except the TASS button bit.
