Thanks Steamyman -- this is where a picture gallery would be fabulous -- with the year and notable variations.

Looking though the forum we think we have possibly a late 50ies?? SE1 - superheated with the eyelet piston end and the word MAMOD on the flywheel - which is brass - looks different to the pictures I have seen. There is a hole for oil on the --- uuummm -- cylinder? thingy near the screw.

We didn't realise it was a nut and bolter so we are really pleased, and we also think it is the same as the one we won on the weekend. (To be honest we forgot we had this one coming and what a pleasant suprise) The base is in really good condition.

Should do up nicely. Cheers J-G

It's an SE1 1954-1967, with the rectangular decal, but probably from the 50's end of the scale because of the single peg on the water level plug. But on the other hand it looks like it takes a vapourizing burner so would be post 1958.

Cheers

I agree Chris about the Mamoditis. But now that we have a loco we are stopping. For a while anyway. Have to recouperate the bank balance.

This little SE1 might be 60ies ---would still be the earliest we have I think. Ohh well. G-J

SE1 definatley. Certainly 1958 - on, model. Has screwed engine frame so no later than 1965, does it have the lamp? that will help date it too!

Roughly 1958-1962 I don't think we can get any closer than that!

Actually, I think they cancelled out the barrell piston in roughly '59-'61

So somewhere between '59-'62 I think
