Excellent Si, good to see it back running, and obviously able to cope with the CGRL as well. Problem is will it break again when I see it running just like last time...

I have no plans for heavy loads. Unless someone comes to challenge the title in which case she'll take it back or die trying.

I will state that I will not put my "Super" mamod up against that one as mine struggles to pull itself. That looks great though, nice to see one doing so well.

I think there is some confusion over who is taking their mamods to PTLR fest and who is taking them to Peterborough. I doubt those from the west of the country would be taking them to Peterborough...

My little Agnus would crush the opposition so it wouldn't be fair if I ever took her out

hmm not so sure angus is unmodified and runs well but the newer pistons do make a difference as does gas firing and uprated safety valves but it does show mamods arn't just toys

Nah, she's too awesome
Also, I agree that Mamods aren't just toys. They are like the Mini. You can add power & make it more fun

I think mostly it's down to luck. For instance my surviving mamod is a bag of nails. Although it has an uprated boiler, gas burner, uprgraded wheels, displacement lubricator , SV, water top up & uprated cylinders it still performs no where as good as my old No 5 that I sold to Jack. That did have a gas burner & upgraded SV but was amazing & would trundle about for ever, well until I failed to sort out the steam chest leak anyway.
