Archive for The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam Forum The Original Unofficial Toy Steam Forum Established 2006 The biggest, most popular steam forum around! Accept NO imitations! We have a growing community of regular posting members who chat about all aspects of toy and model steam.          The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam Forum Forum Index -> General discussion James For the shows? At STIA and the likes, if we are on the end table again, there is a big balcony type thingy abouve the table isn't there? I thought we could get a big flag of some sort, St Georges cross or the likes, and write the forum name on it? Because Mamods are made in England, and I like flags Just thought it might look decent and brighten our stand up a bit. Mamodman123 Maybe... I would like to see a flag with all different nationalities on there. To show we are an international forum! and proud of it James Flag of Lincolnshire? Mamodman123 James wrote: Flag of Lincolnshire? I hope not Like... Scotland, Wales, Australia, France, USA and so on James Hmmm, how do we get a flag with all them flags all rolled into one flag? Roly Williams James wrote: Hmmm, how do we get a flag with all them flags all rolled into one flag? How about a map of the world, with a miniature flag at each of the main places that steam toys were made, and our logo in the middle of the Atlantic? James Good idea mate, but where do I get a huge map from? mc_mc James wrote: Good idea mate, but where do I get a huge map from?

Even better idea Roly It would show our steam community across the globe Manxman Em, and don't forget the Isle of Man. H2o vapour Cable Car!!! Fine, Good point Please do remember the magnificent steam powered cable car - now that's a legend - I feel better every time I see that!! We would not want a flag to get in the way - - Just a thought H2O Vapour James You go to STIA mate?? He said he might not be taking it next year... this year was it's last outing Steve_S Well, in that case maybe we could rig up something similar.... with a flag on it! James Oooo I like the sound of that! Maybe make one and have the forum logo hanging from the bottom? Steve_S Just what I was thinking. That would be something wouldn't it? James Would be mighty fine Steve Steve_S We could have it powered from different engines during the day... whatever anybody brings thats powerfull enough... SE3, Bowman, etc. James That would be good aswell! Have it on the door like the last bloke did, to attract more attention Steve_S I was thinking it could go back and forth above the big end table, I assume you're having that one again? We could make some poles to clamp to the table at either end to carry it. James Well I guess we are... depending on what Fred has to say Anyways mate, I'll be off now. Cya Steve_S James wrote: Well I guess we are... depending on what Fred has to say Anyways mate, I'll be off now. Cya Night James. flywheel61 I like the idea of a big flag, the St George one would be ideal (because it has a lot of white on it), you could the sew/stick smaller flags of the forum participatory countries on that flag. That's providing it's not regarded as desecration, if it's not politically correct Roly's idea of a globe would be good. Cheers Chris James Aye, to show the forum is run from England BUT everyone is welcome here and the more nationalities we get here the better Mamodman123 Steve_S wrote: We could have it powered from different engines during the day... whatever anybody brings thats powerfull enough... SE3, Bowman, etc. Se4? James aye MM! Use your SE4! Can I have a go please? I've always wanted to steam an SE4 Mamodman123 James wrote: aye MM! Use your SE4! Can I have a go please? I've always wanted to steam an SE4 Oh I dunno.....I'm sure you'll get the chance to steam one Jimbo James Blah, I only dream of steaming one.

Lewis didnt think it was that funny it is true though James I did Lewis we need to sort out who will be on the big table again when the time nears James I think the people who went last year get the big table, and all the other people get tables down one side, so we are in an "L" shape. I think that would be good. Big table: Me MM SM Steely *Banned member* replaced by Lewis Lewis James wrote: I think the people who went last year get the big table, and all the other people get tables down one side, so we are in an "L" shape.

James Lives with his wife to be in Donny- an hour away. Plus he wouldn't know a sheep's head from a sheep's arse! H2o vapour Hi James, 1) Been doing STIA for 10 years now 2) If you do a cable car - speak to the man!! - I have talked with him over many years about it and believe me it aint easy, that thing is a work of art. 3) I was just down from you steaming my D32e last time Regards H20 Vapour James Wow! I was talking to you! there was a bloke there and I said would you consider selling it and he said it is my son's engine (or something like that) Roly Williams I like the idea of the L shape - with the cable car strung between the two ends over the heads of the crowd. H2o vapour James That's right, That's my father, He goes with me and keeps an eye, whilst I go spending, selling , and generally dealing !! Or somthing like that!! No it's not for sale - it's my best engine! And you are dead right - STIA - IS NOT LONG ENOUGH OR REGULAR ENOUGH!! H20 Vapour James Wow! Quite rightly you should be proud of that D32!

Especially the twin cylinder ones! Could always hand-ball it! steamyjim I was talking to you H2o. I came up with some of my grandads freinds who were across the isle from you. I was the young lad who loved D32s MTA SillyBilly wrote: MTA wrote: I could probably drive that diesel (green boxy thing) out if need be If it's a Lister, that's a piece of p**s.

SillyBilly Hmmmmm, there's more skill involved with a Lister! steamyjim If i can get some measurments of the hall etc. And a decent place on the edge of the table i will rebuild my old garden ski-lift and put it up at STIA I will improve it from the orgional design as it went to fast. SillyBilly I might come along to this 'STIA' thing, it sounds like a lark. But then Lewis might hit me for what a said about the SP series! I want to go to Abbey Pumping station at some point anyway. Sounds like a good reason to stretch the PoW legs a bit futher, perhaps I can drag MM's Brother's Princess round?
