Garden Railway Forum

Greetings,

I'm looking at these vertical boiler models. Pretty sweet machines. A question: what/where did the prototype locomotives work? What type of rolling stock were they hauling? What type of railroads were they working on?

Thanks!

Oh nice, thanks Chris. Right there in plain sight. Thanks for pointing that out.

Ah! I just signed up there a few days ago. Thanks!

Thank you for the replies and info. (I email mamod.uk.co and they don't reply, so I've trained myself off of that avenue.)

Where is this forum: "join the mamod and other steam forum"?

Thanks,

Folks, apologies for the non-railroad question, but not seeing another place to post this question. I'm looking at this roadster kit, wondering if "kit" means that it all bolts together rather than riveted construction on the Ready-to-Run versions? I have to imagine that is so, hard to ima...

Sigh. A day late and a dollar short, as they say. Thanks!

Greetings,

Does anyone know if the 7/8ths coaches in this video are offered commercially? Nice looking cars. I would appreciate a pointer if they are.

Best,

Chris, thanks for the details on how to do it, and the pointer to Roy Wood Models. I shall continue to stalk eBay... see what comes up...

Thanks for that history Chris, interesting that the tooling has been lost. That explains a lot.

On the re-gauge, is just a new axle set or will I have to move the frames out farther too?

I'll keep watching eBay...

Thanks,

-Richard

I'll probably buy a van and brake van from MSS, they look to be same as old Mamod. I'd just like to keep everything in the style of the old Mamod RWx cars.

Roy and I connected. Thanks Roy!

Is there any cool stuff on Shapeways for our Mamods++?

Greetings, How hard is it to find Mamod open wagons on the used market? I've been trolling eBay for a month+, not seeing any. Also, I run 45mm, I presume I can just press the wheels out on the axle from 32 to 45mm? I have two maroon Mamod coaches RW5 in 45mm and there is room between the frames for ...

Tom_tom_go, I found this address for RWM listed on Summerlands Chuffers website. I hope this one gets through. Thanks for the pointer. lodgecot@btinternet.com

GTB, your locos are looking great there. Thank you all for the pointers and info. I had no idea that those sorts of pens were available. I've got a steady hand and some pre-CAD drafting experience, I think I should be able to figure this out and get reasonable results.

Best!

Dear Dignitaries, I live in Utah in the USA. I've been running G1 live steam since I got involved with Ron Brown of Steam in the Garden, and the folks at Aster in Japan (I was living there as an expat) back in 1991. I have so admired the beautiful locomotive lining that many UK 16mm locomotives are ...

Folks, I have tried to reach Roy Wood Models on this address several times: enquiries@roywoodmodels.co.uk

I'm in the USA so a phone call a bit pricey. That is the email on their web site, is there possibly a better one to use?

Many thanks,

-Richard

Superbiker, thank you for the confirmation, and thank you for the link to the eagle assist web site. That is one I hadn't come across yet... great archival as well as instantly useful information.

Thanks again,

-Richard

Folks, I'm working on upgrading a Mamod and redoing and IP Jane. This forum (search!) has been a great resource. Are this a complete list of who current offers Mamod, MSS, Jane and Janet products?: Mamod.co.uk MSS Ministeam Roy Wood Models Dreamsteam (BEST SOURCE FOR UPGRADES?) CJW Steam Thanks for ...

Many thanks Tom_tom_go, that's exactly what I was looking for.

Best,
