Well, weather hasn't been favorable, too gusty, and most outdoors are uneven so I finally did what any responsible adult would do -I cleaned out my kitchen floor so I can play with my toys

Not a speed monster but that is due to the meths burner that goes out after 5mins so I'm working on that now.

Here goes and hope you enjoy

BTW, could this be considered or bad performance?

That's the only "dislike" about Mamod steam cars, they need lots of space to play with. Ok, the exhaust pointing at the floor is also a minor nuisance.

It's fun once you find the space it wants

I'm going away tomorrow and I'm not sure I have anything it fits with ease

Hi,

I have had one of those sitting in the work shop for a couple of months having seeing how well they perform I must do something about getting it running.

Regards Tony.

Spooky... where's the driver?
Actually looks very good and runs at a nice speed for indoors use.

Runs well.

I have one that I built out of a kit so it was new. I took one of the belts off and ran it for about 3 boiler worth to seat it in. But cannot get it to run much nothing like yours. Yes they take more room to run then the tractor. Thanks for the video!

I have an unfired roadster and a fire engine that I converted
to gas. Runs great, but has a habit of banging into
everything. :

Anyway, thanks for
the video. No photobucket complaints here.
