Both rather nice.
The mamod bash is particularly good.
Anymore info on both of them?
If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!

Hi Big Jim, the Mamod in the Hunslet style is one of a numbered series of 10 Mamodifications I have made. I have actually made more than that but i've stopped numbering them now

That's possibly the best looking Mamod i've ever seen. I have to say you've done a wonderful job with it.
Ok, here's Lilian

If I was ever to go to 7/8ths, the above photo would be the reason why! That is just fantastic!

Thank you
My railway is built to 16mm scale so i have no intention of converting to 7/8ths.
However i love Quarry Hunslets and 16mm scale ones are both rare and expensive,
so when Accucraft announced their 7/8ths one at such a reasonable price i just had to have one.

James wasn't available that day so it is Velinheli's standby driver Evan Elpus at the controls.
