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 shows just how good Mamod toys were when built originally.
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?
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!
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
Another fantastic restoration: I love watching your restoration work .
Thank you !! Glad you appreciated it 🙌
Toys from a different age for sure. Beautiful restoration!!
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!
What an amazing restoration 🎉❤
Beautiful restoration, videography, and editing. Well done, sir.
Before it was a working model steamroller, now it is a display worthy.
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 😌
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 🥴
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 🙏
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
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 !
Kid: "When can I play with it?"
Dad: "In a moment son, in a moment."
As in a few years
@@TTTEclub Toys for boys. 😂
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 😉
Deserves an Academy Award! 👍👍
Absolutely stunning results! It's so satisfying to watch.
Absolutely beautiful.
Masterful work.......👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
‘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.
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 😉
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 ).
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 !! 😌🙏
Great work and fine result. Your humor is much appreciated!
Thank you !! Glad you enjoyed 😌🙌
That is so cool, and wow what a restoration job.
You always have unique items to restore,
La rareté du jouet n'a d'égal que la qualité de la restauration, félicitations!
Merci beaucoup 😌🙏
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
I love hearing the sounds that the process of restoration makes. What a beautiful job you do on the toys.
Not only are your restorations relaxing to watch but I love the editing and the once and a while funny elements👍🏼🙌🏼
Great job and great vid Changing the "mood" of the little pipe after polishing the steamtank is sooo funny ! 😂 😂
😅👍
They don't make toys like that anymore. Great job on restoring this old classic.👍👍
Thank you very much 🙏
Браво мастер, реставрация катка блестящая. Игрушка интересная. Спасибо за видео, лайк однозначно.
Thank you !!! 😌👍
I have a Mamod roller in a similar condition. Wish i had your ability to restore it. Fantastic.
It looks adorable.😂
Fantastic job you did restoring the live steam road roller. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work.
Nice job and awesome editing 👍
Thank you so much my friend 😌 I learn a lot watching you ;)
this has to be the record for most hidden faces on different parts of one object 😆
Haha not my fault. So many faces on that roller 😂
That's the coolest toy I've ever seen.
リアル蒸気機関シリーズはやっぱり良いなぁ！
Absolutely beautiful restoration.
Nicely done
Well done! That's a lovely wee thing. It looks better now than when it left the factory.
Not a restoration but a custom as you didnt repaint the boiler with the green paint.
I used to rebuild these SR's and the TE1 traction engines with the brass and black look. Done a few mods and even built a showmans traction engine after buying the parts direct from Mammod. Great steam engines to get running. I also converted one into a crane which I got the jib and made it work raising and lowering the hook with the flywheel. I love watching these mamod rebuilds. They are well worth keeping around.
Thanks a lot. Not easy to catch that exact green, heat resistant 😕
Дело мастера боится!!!
👍👍👍
Wow! The golden age of toys!
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 👍
Work of art mate
Giving life to this beauty great work
Beautiful! Terrific piece of work 👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
another amazing job
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 😉🙌
That wipe after the red powder coat on the wheels = Perfection
Powder coating is so satisfying 😉
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 😕
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 🙌
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 😉🙌
Man, that thing looks great, you always do a fantastic job!
Supernice item. Great job and video❤
Beautiful work and fantastic restoration. Personal preference but I think it loses something of its character without the olive green paint, looks less steam rollerish?? XD
I tried to catch that green color, heat resistant. I couldn’t find it 😕
@@TheFabrik aww that's a shame, I'm glad you tried to find it though!
Beautiful job i like thanks
Now, add one servo, receiver, and batteries and you got yourself a real toy!
Now THAT'S what i call a restoration!!
Hey thank you !!! Glad you appreciated it 🙏
Magnificent. Excellent job.
Wonderful job.
Continue the great work
Phenomenal restoration!
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 🙏
Man I would have a hard time repeating one of those beautiful brass toys. I think they look very beautiful with just the Polish.👌
Thanks so much for sharing 😊
On behalf of all mamod model owners, thank you for restoring this magnificent piece of machinery
Thank you ! 🙌
Awesome job, TheFabrik
Perfect Video 😊
Brilliant restoration. Brings back many very happy memories of my childhood. Thank you.
I just cannot believe how nice this turned out. I can see a lot of work went into this but it looks like it just came from the toy shop! I always look forward to a restoration from you and this was great to watch. Thank you for sharing your efforts with us.
Thank you so much 🙏 Glad you appreciated it. It’s always a pleasure to share 🙌
WoooooW!!! Esos si eran JUGETES!!!! Que bien te quedó!!!!! Felicidades
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 😉👍
A beautifully made video. So subtle, almost hypnotising. I loved the curved tracking camera on the buffing sequence. The audio is exquisite. I have a very simple Mamod model, from childhood, which I just need to clean up a bit in order to sell on. This has inspired me. Thank you.
Thank you !! Glad to bring the memories back 😌🙏
Fantastic restoration, I’m sure it looks better now than it did when it was new 👌
So cute and amazing job ☺️👍
Phantastic Restauration
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 ! 🙌
We love a good old steam roller, what a beauty. I love your work everytime you post, its damn amazing man
Very cool project, outstanding work
Thank you ! Glad you appreciated it 😌🙏
Pure editing gold my friend! Beautiful work. That will be a center piece in somebody's collection : )
Thank you very much ! Glad you appreciated it 🙌
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 😌🙌
*Wow your restoration of this is amazing... First time ever to see a toy of this kind too 🙂.*
Amazing restoration!
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 😌🙏
Beautiful job. Looks better than new.
Totally amazing. Fantastic restoration. Great job!!
Excellent restoration ❤
Great job as always.
Прекрасная работа!!!
O capricho vale muito numa restauração 👏👏👏👏
Beautiful restoration
Awesome job , loved how well this polished up
you've steamrolled this restoration!
:P
Haha thank you Damien 😅🙌
Are you ever amazed at how many parts even the simplest of items has? This was great!
They don’t do things like that anymore 😕🤷♂️
Sadly, that's true. They want things to break so you have to buy new. I still have toys from when my father was a boy. He just turned 90!!@@TheFabrik
