The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam Forum

flywheel61 · Posted: Mon Nov 13, 2006 9:45 am Post subject: First Post (better than last)

Hi everyone, thanks for a great site, this is my first post and hopefully not my last. Did a bit of surfing over the past few days whilst my joining problems were sorted out (my fault). Found the site thanks to Wallace (Andrew), another Aussie. I'm lucky enough to own quite a few Mamods, the oldest being an SE2, boxed, (50's) which I picked up locally and one lonley Bowmans. Probably crossed swords with a few of you on Ebay in the process of building my collection.
Thanks to all those who contribute to the site especially the technical section.

Cheers

Chris

Hi Chris.
Welcome to the forum. It's great to have another member from Ozz. We are very proud of our growing international membership and you'll make many friends, who will gladly help with, and discuss any problems you have within the hobby.

You will find we are a very informal bunch who like a bit of humour as well as the expertise.

We hope you will enjoy it here and I look forward to chatting about the hobby with you soon.

Welcome Chris. I'ts a great forum, you'll enjoy it.

Post some pics of your collection mate.

If you want to (purely voluntary) we have a thread in the ebay forum, where you can let us know your ebay identity, and maybe avoid unecessary bidding against each other, bearing in mind if it's something a few want, it's every man for himself.

You can call me yosa or Phil.

Welcome Chris,

Another fellow Ozzie, that now makes 3 on the forum.
Which part of OZ are you from, I'm in Perth WA.
I see you also collect native orchids.
I also have a small collection of Western Australian terrestrial native orchids which I've slowly gathered from nurseries and from blocks of land about to be cleared for housing.

Have you ever managed to get any Australia engines yet?
I've so far got 1 Scorpion verticle engine another unknown but suspected Ozzie verticle.
All the rest of mine are English.

Look forward to seeing your collection.

A nice example of an Australian made Scorpion Donkey Engine

A warm Welcome to the forum Chris,

We're building quite a few Australian members now

you're taking over the forums near enough

.

I'm sure you'll enjoy contributing to the forums and if you can, get some pictures of your collection up! We all like to see new/different engines

Just getting in the mood for 'Im a Celbrity . . . ' tonight!

Looking forward to settling down to watch it with a few tinnies/tubes of lager!

Is that tonight? I didn't realise, who's the babe this time?

Might grab a couple of tinnies myself then.

No worries.
