Mamod SW1I have been after one of these for ages and i finally have got a nice green SW1 from around 1972 or thereafter. It is a meths fired version with the level plug, i also fitted some tyres from Forest Classics which i think look really good.All in all i'm very impressed with the size of it and it has to be my favourite mobile.

Very nice acquisition. | ||||
| Swift Fox |
Thanks guy's, i'm very pleased with it.
Dave, i can take the body completely off this one. I guess the new ones are riveted on judging by yours. |

| m8dave |
how is the bracket fitted on the body at the back |

| MrMamod |
I like them to BUT with MORE wheels  .. Yours certainly is a nice clean model for the age.

Well done Swift Fox  .
I agree with you it's my favourite mamod mobile also. They run at a realistic speed too.

| ozsteamdemon |
 Thats like ........ in showroom condition ! 
Shelf queen or workhorse ? 
|
||||
| Swift Fox |
Workhorse Geoff, as soon as i sort the steering out. This engine will be steamed as i don't keep unfired engines anymore. |
||||
| magpie38 |
its getting harder to find sw1 in such good condition | ||||
| Burnmafingers |
That big mobile is in lovely order Philip, a fine addition. | ||||
| Dr. Rog |
Good
If looked after they don't deteriorate. This one is very nice indeed. A great acquisition, I look forward to seeing it next week.

| Swift Fox |
Sorry Rog but it probably won't be there as the only Mamod i'm taking is the showman's for the kids, rest of the stuff will be US/Oz engines as that is my theme for this year. I hope others will be taking their SW1's though as the design is 40 years old 1972-2012. Thanks for your tips on the steering in the other thread as i worked that out with turning the axle and not nut bit.

Like with my other Mamod mobiles this engine has now been named:
Just need some sacks & barrels for the back now. 
|
||||
| magpie38 |
looking good with the name plate | ||||

They do take up a lot of room. I shall try to bring one myself then.
