Well, there are no words, super, amazing work👍
I couldn't agree more.
I have one of these I bought in St Andrew’s Scotland in 1966 . Still runs great.
Nnn
I have some words: "Roll on, my beauty."
This was a blast from the past! I never owned one, but a good friend from school did. He lived in a close, so traffic was minimal and we could play in the road. We never used the steering post, but fired it up - and nobody in the early 1970's got into a tizz about schoolkids playing about with matches or methylated spirits - and just let it go. Great fun!
If you lived in a 'close' you were slightly better off than average then, your friend probably had well to do parents, bet he got the number ten meccano set as well!, very happy days though, when the world was normal.
Great fun they indeed were. I too never owned the engine featured on the video here, but did have a stationary Mamod engine that I had hours of fun with.
In an attempt to make this engine "mobile", I fitted it out with wheels, steering linkage and a pulley drive system made from Meccano.
With an over filled meths burner creating huge flames that licked out from the sides of the burner box, the engine moved pretty well under its own power, but was well and truly defeated come the slightest incline.
@@keithpearson7539 - Yup. Good to see someone playing with such a potentially lethal toy in the correct manner. Enquiring minds, and all that. 👍👍👍😆😆😆
even extends to my generation (im 14), me grandad gave me his old mamod and its brilliant fun!
@@brianartilleryhmm how old are u now dude?
This shows just how good Mamod toys were when built originally.
Great restoration, a reminder of my happy childhood, we had some properly dangerous toys to play with back then, but it taught us respect for things that, if not handled correctly could bite you back!.
True… quite dangerous toys.., Always thrilling to light them up 😱😰😅
Steam engines, electrical, and chemistry sets from the 70s. All toys that taught children to respect fire and current.
Yup..........
Remember when it was perfectly normal for a 12 or 13 year old kid to carry a pocket knife ? .......... In school?
No one thought a thing of it.
@@jonduggan7433 still do, we sixties and seventies kids had our fights like everyone else but, we wouldn't even dream of taking our knife and sticking it in another person, it was unthinkable, scores were settled there and then with fists if required, of course what the government media and cops don't tell you is that knife crime isn't committed by 'us' if you know what i mean.
Yes, used to have a sheath knife on my snake belt on display!
My Godfather had a collection of steam powered toys he started collecting when he was a kid in the 1940's. He never stopped adding to his collection. I will have to check but, I think this is the exact model steam roller that he had. It brings back great memories, Thanks!
Thank you ! Very touching to bring the memories back 😌🙏
Deserves an Academy Award! 👍👍
Giving life to this beauty great work
This could not have been an affordable toy for most kids (or adults) back then. Very nice restoration!
I found an advertisement for a later model(1969) it was $24.99, or about $250 USD in today's money
@@liveyourbestlife3785 Thank you for sharing!
Very complicated restoration but very well executed. Congratulations!
Magnificent. Excellent job.
You always have unique items to restore,
Nicely done
It is sad to see that back then this thing used to be every little boy's dream, and now everyone just wants PS4, XBox, Iphones and Gaming PCs.
I can’t agree more 😕👍
Not me I still like 1980 - 1845 stuff
Back then it was the toy to have. Now a ps5 is the toy to have. The concept hasn't changed
PS5 and iPhone both have a lot more games to play with them too. Probably a better value for the money in terms of how long it will keep that little boy entertained.
Work of art mate
Toys from a different age for sure. Beautiful restoration!!
That's the coolest toy I've ever seen.
Just….brilliant!
Wonderful job.
another amazing job
Absolutely beautiful.
Masterful work.......👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
That is so cool, and wow what a restoration job.
Before it was a working model steamroller, now it is a display worthy.
Another fantastic restoration: I love watching your restoration work .
Thank you !! Glad you appreciated it 🙌
Thanks so much for sharing 😊
Wow! The golden age of toys!
Absolutely beautiful restoration.
Beautiful job i like thanks
It looks adorable.😂
The main thing I really love about your restorations ? Are they are real rust and patina . Not those 100 year old finds with that fake ass material that most others have on them .
Oh finally someone who knows !!! 😉 Thank you very much 🙏
So cute and amazing job ☺️👍
wonderful job
I would have given my eye teeth for a Mamod steam engine when I was a kid.
What an amazing restoration 🎉❤
Terrific work and what a cool little toy that could NEVER be sold to children today! Makes me miss the good old days when a kid could walk into a nickel and dime store and get a cap gun that shot off real little gunpowder caps or a dart board or a pressure pump water rocket or a chemistry set with real chemicals...glass test tubes and an alcohol lamp. When I was 10 years old, there used to be a mom and pop store in town called Green's where you could buy replacement chemicals, Estes rockets (the big "D" engines!), working steam engines and gasoline powered Cox piston engine airplanes and dragsters. Nobody got hurt, everyone was happy, nobody made pipe bombs from the innards of solid rocket motor cartridges etc...just good adventurous clean fun for curious kids! What happened to us? How did our society, in the name of keeping us safe, take all of the discovery, adventure and fun out of being a child? Electric motor planes...Velcro tipped darts and boards? No mini explosions...no smoke...no little piston engine noises etc...boring!
I can’t agree more with what you said. Thanks a lot for these words, always touching to bring the memories back 😌🙏 I have children and they really don’t care about those old toys 🤷♂️ so… we’re lost 🥴😅
I've read somewhere that each and every safety measure was applied after an accident, so your memories may be as well just a survivor bias.
I agree, though, that we became probably way too safe, but on the other hand - if you want this type of toy for your child and are able to learn them how to use it properly, you can still do it, buy it as a vintage or even make your own (and if you are unable to make it, the same rant may be used - because the previous generation was probably able to make such toys :D ).
Continue the great work
Supernice item. Great job and video❤
Beautiful.
Britain produced some great toys back in the day; Dinky, Meccano, Corgi, Matchbox, to mention a few and Mamod is one of them. Great restoration.
For sure !! Thank you very much 🙏
TOOT! TOOT!
Here comes a rolling FIRE HAZARD! 😂
Великолепно сделано!!! Отлично! Браво. Снимаю шляпу... Побольше бы такого контента на фоне китайских "псевдо-реставраторов". Жму руку и желаю и дальше заниматься любимым делом и радовать нас!
Thank you very much 🙏 Glad you appreciated it 😌
Amazing!
Awesome job, TheFabrik
That was so satisfying to watch. I have a Mamod Traction engine that I was given for Xmas 1968. It still works and is in pretty good condition.
Thank you ! I hope you’re still enjoying it 😉
Nice trinket.
OUTSTANDING
Now, add one servo, receiver, and batteries and you got yourself a real toy!
Why do we not have toys like this anymore!
‘Railways are no good… turn them into roads!’ Haha great restoration! 10/10!
😉👍 Thank you !!!
Back in my day when I was a kid, I loved big machines, so I wanted to be a train driver.
Half of my dream came true, I started driving tractors. A big machine that could turn left and right.
Дело мастера боится!!!
👍👍👍
Took me back to Christmas day 1965 unboxing my one. Best present ever. Thanks for bringing that little boys memories back to me. I might just get it out and fire it up again!!
Thank you ! Always touching to bring the memories back 😌🙏 I hope you’ll enjoy it still 😉
I used to live by the Mamod factory, Thornes road Brierley hill, birmingham. All the kids had one,,great memories,, Great vid..
Oh wow you are lucky :) Someone told me it was a very small factory, family business…
@@TheFabrikI went to the factory back in 2018, it was great
Absolutely stunning results! It's so satisfying to watch.
Nice job and awesome editing 👍
Thank you so much my friend 😌 I learn a lot watching you ;)
Браво мастер, реставрация катка блестящая. Игрушка интересная. Спасибо за видео, лайк однозначно.
Thank you !!! 😌👍
They don't make toys like that anymore. Great job on restoring this old classic.👍👍
Thank you very much 🙏
SO UNDERRATED
Beautiful restoration, videography, and editing. Well done, sir.
I think toys from the past were more fun than today's. At least the ones you restore are super cool! 😎
Thank you very much !
I love the attention and extra work you put into sound recording and scene setup. Your videos are a work of art! As I said before, you're the Stanley Kubrick of Restoration Video Creators!
Wow thank you very much !
You have no idea how it helps !! 😌🙏
That wipe after the red powder coat on the wheels = Perfection
Powder coating is so satisfying 😉
Great work and fine result. Your humor is much appreciated!
Thank you !! Glad you enjoyed 😌🙌
god i remember these as a kid !!!! they were soooooooooo expensive !!! i would have loved the car one but als never ever had the money !!! thats beautiful work right there !!!!
Thank you very much ! I think Mamod is still producing ans selling those steam toys 👍
Fantastic, i owned a few of these engines when i was a kid. Most were incomplete but all worked. A testiment to their ruggedness
Glad to bring the memories back 😉🙌
I had one of these as a kid and I just loved it, if I remember right the fuel used was mentholated spirit. Sadly I have no idea what happened to it as I grew up. Great restoration.
Thank you ! My mistake 🙌 Zippo fuel was a bad choice 🥴
Great job and great vid Changing the "mood" of the little pipe after polishing the steamtank is sooo funny ! 😂 😂
😅👍
Now THAT'S what i call a restoration!!
Hey thank you !!! Glad you appreciated it 🙏
I have a Mamod roller in a similar condition. Wish i had your ability to restore it. Fantastic.
had this exact one as a kid
リアル蒸気機関シリーズはやっぱり良いなぁ！
La rareté du jouet n'a d'égal que la qualité de la restauration, félicitations!
Merci beaucoup 😌🙏
I had that model, back in the early 70s. I recall the only time I could play with it, was when dad was around. Pretty sure my mother still has it in her loft. Great work.
Glad to bring the memories back 😉🙌
Well done! That's a lovely wee thing. It looks better now than when it left the factory.
Wow that's amazing work turned out fantastic attention to detail out of the world well done 👍
On behalf of all mamod model owners, thank you for restoring this magnificent piece of machinery
Thank you ! 🙌
I remember my dad finding one in the rubbish and us kids playing with it all the time back in the early 90's and even then they were rare.
Awesome to see one actualy going 👍
Glad to bring the memories back 😌🙌
WoooooW!!! Esos si eran JUGETES!!!! Que bien te quedó!!!!! Felicidades
I’ve got one with a roof and log trailer that I bought at a garage sale for $10. Couldn’t believe my luck! Still got it and I get it out now and then to show the grandkids but they either don’t have the patience to wait for it to get up to temp or they are afraid of it. Doesn’t matter - I love it.
Superb restoration ! Maybe use some wood alcohol (hydrat méthyle alcohol) instead of naphta, it will not smoke and avoid soothing ! Thanks for sharing !😊
Oh thanks for the tip !!! I was wondering why it was smokey… 😅 I hesitated… 😕
@@TheFabrik your welcome 😊
Yes, those burners were designed to use methylated spirits (which you got from the chemist in the UK after signing the poisons book). There was a later version which used a slightly different burner which took solid fuel tablets. @@TheFabrik
@@user-pf3ye6yi9ni have a bottle in stock :) I’ll try that 😌👍😊
As far as I remember the instructions said to remove the plug in the backhead (which should have 2 "handles" yours is missing one) and fill the boiler via the safety valve hole until water runs out of the other hole. There was a specified quantity of meths to use, this was to make sure that the fire ran out before the water did. Later versions had slightly more complex valve gear with a forward / reverse lever. @@TheFabrik
Gorgeous restoration, I love that you decided on the polished brass instead of painting it again.
I tried to find the exact green, heat resistant. Doesn’t exist anymore 😕
Awesome! Probably worth some money!
I'm 96 and I used to play with a toy like this back in the good old days.
Wow I’m half your age and I’m so glad to bring the memories back 😌🙏
Man I would have a hard time repeating one of those beautiful brass toys. I think they look very beautiful with just the Polish.👌
What a delightful toy that would have been when it was brand new, restored beautifully for us and future generations to enjoy. Bravo
Thank you very much ! 🙌
Прекрасная работа!!!
O capricho vale muito numa restauração 👏👏👏👏
Fantastic job you did restoring the live steam road roller. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work.
Not only are your restorations relaxing to watch but I love the editing and the once and a while funny elements👍🏼🙌🏼
Bril! When kids were allowed to be kids. Great job!. Nice one, Nuff said. 🙂
Thanks a lot 🙌
We love a good old steam roller, what a beauty. I love your work everytime you post, its damn amazing man
Absolutely stunning and very satisfying to watch. Looked like that roller had been at the bottom of a canal! 😂. Pity you didn’t restore the whistle’s personality, I quite liked him.😊. Fabulous work. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thank you very much ! Glad you appreciated it 😉👍
Very cool project, outstanding work
Thank you ! Glad you appreciated it 😌🙏
Awesome job loved the vid. Thank you
Perfect Video 😊
Bro this really cheered me up just now
Nice work
Well! this one brought back memories for me. My hometown was Brum my brother and I played with our methylated spirit fueled steam Roller in the back garden for many hours. My stepfathers yard had a huge (to us) concrete area from the house to the garage great for running the engine. We soon discovered that to stop the engine do not try to pick it up by the back wheels they got very hot. See it was educational, we discovered conduction. The only problem we had was stopping mother from drinking the fuel!
I love the little whistle guy!
Comme d habitude de tres belles restauration.
Merci beaucoup !!!
Nice recover!!❤
I got exactly the same when I was a child, in the late sixties, and still have it, somewhere, but in very good condition. It was as a present from nice friends of my parents. So, watching this brought out very nice memories.
Glad to bring the memories back 🙌
What a superb piece of restoration! Great care taken with every little piece and all done to perfection. A really professional job.
Thank you very much 🙌
