Thank you i’m very pleased with it i’ve only had it running once! if you have facebook you can look on the mamod page at the custom stuff it’s really good
love the collection those safety could do with a service and new fiber washers and n silicone rubber gaskets fitted and the steaming would improve a lot
All been done since, this is a very old video of mine and I have 0 knowledge of mamods in this video lol but I’d like to think I know a it more now. Thanks for watching
@@DanielsModels I hawe a pair of Basset Lowke and a Bowman livesteamer 0 gauge in my collection, most of the stationarys are Wilesco machines, but i hawe the MAMOD mini and the one with a cast chimney i ma also almost done restoring the MAMOD meccano pendulum steamplant (nothing fancy i think it's the 1970s yellow model). I recently got the exxcentric press for the mamod mini workshop, i hawe a pair of hammers and the mini grinder for it as well. I must say that i realy love those miniatures. I think the pulleys for it is actualy made by a Danish company named TECNO (as i heard they made things for the American Jenssen steamplants back in the days, but if they exported to Britain it was most likly under their own brand i think but there are no factory markings on the toys, it was only printed on the paperbox as far as i know), i hawe a 1970s ish red horseshoe generator and a small saw from that company too i use with the mamod miniatures. I know those horseshoe dynamos are less effective than the converted DC motor mamod did choose for their own generators, but i must admit that it had look neat as a part of the collection if they did.
Wow that sounds like a very interesting collection! The mamod meccano steam plant does sound interesting and yes i believe Techno could have something to do with that as they made all sorts of accessories for workshops etc. The generator and saw also sound interesting and yes they have more of a charm then the dc motor in my opinion.
Hi i like your collection. Just like to say your dates arr a bit out. If you want il send you a document that explains everything you need to look out for to date tour mamod. Things like on the early te1 the front axil is solid not pressed steel. Like i say love what you have. Id love to own your extended steam lorry. Very nice. Regards kit
Kit Gallagher i really appreciate your comment this video is old now and i’d like to think my knowledge is a lot better now but i would love to know what to look out for so any info will be greatly appreciated. Cheers Dan.
The first one you shown was probably 1959 - late 60's. The second is the 70's. I have one and it's just like yours. The work shop in general could be late 50s, 60s or 70s. The mamod with the early burner is the oldest one. That is 1957 and it was only in production for a year (I think). In 1958 the wick burners were replaced with meth lamps. So it's definitely before 1958. In 1956/7 the mamod company started using presses steel base's. Yours is a presses steel base. Keep hold of it as It will go up in price. The whistle is not at all original. If you search on eBay 'mamod early whistle' you will find the right whistle. They are a bit pricey though.the green steam lorry is probably late 70's. The blue one is 80's or 90's or maybe early 2000's. With the TE1A the sight glass may need replacing. It looks like limescale has built up o the outside the the seal could be shot. It's easy to get replacements off ebay. The TE1 with the brass boiler, it has a regulator so it's after 1975. But if it did have a regulator it would be a TE1A. Bit of a mystery. I hope this helps you understand the mamods a bit more.
This video is very old and i now have a much better understanding of mamods. Thank you for the information. Currently the blue steam lorry is undergoing restoration!
That custom steam lorry is stunning! I feel like I should make a custom but most steam lorrys are so expensive.
Thank you i’m very pleased with it i’ve only had it running once! if you have facebook you can look on the mamod page at the custom stuff it’s really good
I have the first Mamod you talked about, I’ve had it since I was a child, I got it in the late 60’s - very early 70’s.
Hope this helps.

I'm just curious, Why you have no steam engine from Wilesco?
washers
mamod is correctly pronounced 'may mod'
6:45: 'gear lever' omg ha ha ha, ha ha ha, the more you say the more ignorance you show.
