Another Mamod Loco to the fleet

just brought this loco

think ill use this one to convert to 7/8th scale as a 1 man engine

the plan is to put some uprades on such as the boiler with fittings, cylinders, ect...

That's a bargain.

A little Decauville loco would be a nice 7/8ths scale conversion

A good buy especially with the upgrades. Well done.

Rob,

Am I right to assume since you'll be running on seven8ths scale, you are going to re-gauge to 45mm, which comes out close to 2' foot gauge in your scale. Besides, I would think the lokie would be a touch tipsy on 30mm track gauge.

A 7/8ths scale loco running on 32mm track would represent a small 15" gauge estate type loco.
