Hello Folks., I know some of you will be interested in the history of my Mamod loco “Goblin” so the saga Begins in 2016 after seeing my Friends live steam loco run at another friends railway i said I would like a live steam loco to run on friends Railways In September 2017 the dream was realised for my 15th birthday I got a MSS/Mamod From Dream Steam In the uk the first runs were a success on blocks but I tested it on track then I realised that it wasn’t getting enough heat to make it around the circuit, then I met my good friend David at a friends open day and he taught me some tricks of the trade to running a Mamod and it made 2 laps on one fire of solid fuel.
Then a few months ago I realised that I could get it rebuilt to make it a loco that runs well. Unfortunately the rebuild won’t happen until the end of the year because the parts I need to get it rebuilt aren’t available as I speak.
Here are some photos
The saga will be continued when it’s rebuild is completed.
