Very nice, not only have you got a fairly unique mamod, but it obviously runs very well too.

Nice video. I didn't realise a mamod could run that slow. Is that the result of the conversion or can they all be that controllable?

They can all run that slow, takes a little care and attention to the loco, for porting, and a careful hand with the reverser. :)

Very nice Mark. I like the long piston rod set-up on oscillators.

Best wishes,
Dave.
