The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam Forum

Here a few questions that probably need answering, Is wilesco pronounced wuh-lesco or wiles-co? I prefer the latter of the 2 I heard indianarog say wuh-lesco which made me start thinking......

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgLBAwup77w when Indianarog gets to his wilesco steam roller he says wuh-lesco old smokey steam roller. I am just wondering which is correct or neither. Maybe you german steamers can help me out?

The correct pronunciation for Mamod is indeed May-mod

I just say Mamud

I don't even go Ma-mod

It is Maymod because the name comes from Malin (surname of the family and pronounced Maylin. With the first bit of the word Model added on so Malin Models (pronounced Maylin Models) becomes Ma Mod, and then becomes Mamod.

Easy see.

It's Will-lesco, as that name is a contraction of Wilhelm Schröder & Co.
