I'm actually doing this myself (but with very slow progress as a side project)... Look in the live steam sections and stuff, theres a few topics on these types of loco.

I know someone with either the exact same mamod boiler or very simular, and he doesn't know what to do with it, so I may recommend this

:crybaby: it's beautiful. Have you kept the original fire box so you can run it as a Mamod minor rather than just a Mamod minor tram?

You have a funny idea of beautiful.
This isn't plewsy's thing, a guy called Titan built it. You just disconnect the drive band and it runs the same as it would alone, not that you would want to do something so dull when it's set up for running on rails.
