Question About Roadster Kit

Post by doublereefed » Fri Feb 10, 2017 4:34 am

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 imagine that the kit involves riveting things together. But, can anyone confirm or offer information?

Thanks,

-Richard

I don't know either. Why not ask Mamod directly?

All bolt or screw together as far as I remember. Not to difficult to do either.

Yes it all goes together with simple tools and no soldering

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,

Your answer is on the Ministeam website, which coincidentally has the same image as the one you posted above (?). Just below the ADD TO CART button is the following Click on This Text for Assembly and Operating Instructions

All Mamod "kits" are nut and screw construction, which makes them easy to take apart and modify.
