I have a Mamod Showmans Engine:

There were a few niggles with it when I took that video, two of the LEDs were faulty and the flywheel was a bit off centre, these problems are now sorted and the LEDs do not flash on and off at all now!

It is a wonderful engine in my opinion, but can be quite expensive!

I have a Mamod showmans as well, great engine, the dynamo and LEDs work well, but they are usually over £100 and the Wilscos rather more.

The early Mamod ones came wih red LEDs and matching colour scuttle, more recent ones with white LEDs and black scuttle.

Mamod now do a slidevalve version which really must be good.
