Hi,
my names Emily, im 19 and at Bishop Grosseteste uni in Lincoln doing heritage studies. Home is near Newark in Nottinghamshire so not too far from where i am now. I've grown up around full size steam, vintage tractors and stuff like that thanks to my dad, and wouldnt have it any other way. He offically gave me his mamods- traction engine and roller- for christmas when i was about 14. the following birthday i got the bits to go with them, workshop saw etc.
to be totally honest im more into full size steam. We look after a Robey traction and own a Robey portable as well at helping a friend do some major work to his roller. but i do still love my mamods and i realy miss all the stuff at home. keep meaning to bring my mamods back with me but never remember!
i saw this forum and thought it looked like fun, anyway thats a bit about me, if i'v forgotten anything or there is anything else you wana know just ask

two quite old ones
the roller is the oldest, dad got it when he was young so it most likely came out of the ark! the traction engine is the younger one im guesing its in its late twentys tho. both older than me! |

Some nice kit there. You are very lucky to have the Marshall, they sell for silly money nowadays.
Does your S1 Marshall have the cartridge starter? I know some of the very first one's made did not have this feature.

yeah it has cartridge start, which is good as im a bit of a whimp and cant swing start it! but as cartridges are almost £2 a go i usually get dad to swing it for me! lol
when dad got it he was young and into ploughing matches, for which he had the standard ford and needed something to pull it as its on spade luggs. its low geared and they werent exactly in fashion at the time hence he could afford it! i love it, and come in very usefull at times as its fitted with a hesford winch. |

Hi Emily and welcome to the forum!
It sounds like you have a great time with the full sized machinery. Lucky you. Lots of fun to be had with the small stuff too though! I hope you stick around... its always good to have new members and new ideas.
Late twenties is quite old? You make me feel like I came out of the Ark too...
