Re: Mamod Display and Motley Miniatures

Thanks for more pictures. I still love the stationary engine conversion. I will confess that ( for no real good reason) I've never been a Mamod fan but after seeing some of these I really think I ought to get one to share with the grandson when he's older. Some of these must have been fun to build ...

Re: Mamod Display and Motley Miniatures

Superb collection. Brilliant paintwork on them too. Do you have a special technique for painting? Is that the charming little black saddle tank Rebecca I see in one of the pix? I remember seeing that loco before and being impressed. Hi Invicta280. When I first started building these Mamodifications...

Re: Mamod Display and Motley Miniatures

The figures do look good and the overall display. Is the stubby black loco built from a Mamod stationary engine or are my eyes deceiving me? It does look cute, if model trains are ever cute... Apologies for rather late response :oops: I haven't checked into this forum for some time. Yes it is built...

Mamod Display and Motley Miniatures

I recently displayed some of my modified Mamod engines at the L&B Autumn Gala. It was a wonderful weekend as it also marked the new build 762 LYN entering into service. I have modified some of my engines with a WD theme. My 0-6-0 IRENE is modeled after another of the L&B resident loco's AXE....

Re: Annual loco sales?

It's a very simple design and meths fired. There was also the BAGRS some years ago: http://www.panyo.com/mso/BPE.htm I reckon I could make kits or RTR locos along those lines at very affordable prices but it seems like scale, highly detailed locos is what is in demand these days. The Basic Project ...

Re: Is the mark 3 a good locomotive?

Hi Chris, Thanks for all the information. May be I'm needing some kind of treatment, but if I read all these articles on "mamodification" I think it's rather nice.. The process of sorting things out, trying to capture the essence of the problem and fix it, is something I like. Actually it...

Please can you edit your post so that it is possible to see the pictures? I am sure they are great but they are unnecessarily huge. Thanks. The option to open in new tab doesn't come up for me.

Who makes the preferred choice of wheels currently? Does anyone make steel wheels that look like the originals? I'm not a big fan of the disk wheels or spoked ones I've seen so far... I'm not aware of any other wheel suppliers anywhere that do Mamod wheel sets. Disc wheels are no longer supplied by...

Hi Bryan - some sort of spreader tool is used to splay the base of the stack out at the smokebox end so that it holds in place in the main casting. At least that's how it looks like it is assembled!

That could do with a restoration! It looks like it's a relatively early Mamod bash. I probably have something wrong with me as I quite like it :shock: :lol: I don't think it looks like £200 pounds worth though! Maybe £120 or thereabouts.
