Mamod SL1 Steam Locomotive First Run

I had a lot of troubles persuading this to work. I ended up refacing all surfaces, making gaskets, fitting new O-rings, and installing a new boiler sight glass. It is running using an MSS meths burner, which provides almost 6 minutes running time.

That’s just brilliant!
Nice to see them still being played with in the way many at Mamod probably envisioned them being played with.

I'll never have a wonderful garden railway like yours, but still they are fun to run even on a track like this.

@@JohnnySteam why not? My little garden was a rubble strewn plot two years ago and Iv only been going on trial and error.
I didn’t even intend to have plants it was just going to be a plain test track.

You are right. Never say never!
