Micron radio control

Hi all, I recently purchased a Micron transmitter and receiver from eBay. I have successfully installed in my Mamod Boulton. While it works it doesn't correspond with the controls on the transmitter. I have the rotary speed, inertia and direction switch. The direction switch doesn't work but the rot...

Re: Mamod Stirling

Why is everyone so quick to shout this loco down? We aren't going to encourage anyone to build better locos if we slate it before it's been properly reviewed. From my perspective it is a nice looking loco with decent proportions and decent sized cylinders etc. Yes the roundhouse basic series are abo...

Mamod Stirling

Hi All,

according to Mamod, the Stirling loco is on hold. That's what they told me when I asked them through facebook the other day. I was looking forward to some reviews on the Stirling as I really like the look of it.

kind regards

Re: Mamod Brunel

Yes, the photos are out of order. But, hopefully you can see the piping arrangement-that was the point. The tank is held in place with a spring clip similar to the gas tank. The brass bit lying on the floor is a wind down handbrake which has yet to be fitted.

Re: Mamod Brunel

Hi, the condenser tank is from Clevedon steam, it has three connections. The top one is the exhaust, one side is the steam in and the other is the drain. To drain the tank you need to block off the exhaust and use the steam pressure to blow out the water. The reason for not putting the exhaust next ...
