MTA has one the same and it looks to run very well from what's he's said! Will take some running in though! looks hardly used! That brings back memories GJ... of what mine used to look like Mine does run very well, although mine has had upgraded cylinders and black wheelsets since bought (second hand) which might lead to Victor's improved running Mamodman123 Graham-Jilly wrote: they said it was an sl1k and has never been fired will soon know when it turns up Well it isn't an SL1k If it aint been run, then it will take some running in! hopefully it goes better than Chris' attempt at running in Funny that MTA... you have a habit of turning up when we're talking about you steamyjim MTA victor has upgraded cylinders???? didnt no that Mamodman123 steamyjim wrote: MTA victor has upgraded cylinders???? didnt no that Don't all MSS loco's have slightly upgraded cylinders? James Nope, just painted black. MTA steamyjim wrote: MTA victor has upgraded cylinders???? didnt no that Come to think of it, looking at GJ's, mine has the main body of the cylinder painted black! Just thinking, do the other MSS locos have them? MM, I'm always watching steamyjim mine are plain brass aswell Mamodman123 They differ from the old Mamod cylinders I know that Graham-Jilly Our mss queen elizabeth jubilee aka lizzie has black cylinders as well and runs beter than the mamod sl2 aka charly Mamodman123 Graham-Jilly wrote: Our mss queen elizabeth jubilee aka lizzie has black cylinders as well and runs beter than the mamod sl2 aka charly That could just be a coincidence rather than the upgraded cylinders SillyBilly If you study the MSS cylinder, you'll notice that the cap on the cylinder that faces towards the cab is of a diffrent shape to the mamod one!
