My first post and first restorationHi all,I've just completed refurbishing what is possibly an SE2. Here's a before and after many hours of work - an after shot. 
Before - the SE2? and a minor (which requires alot of work, but will one day run again - does anyone know where I can acquire a new piston and crank?). I have done quite a bit of work on the units boiler, as it was quite badly damaged. 
After - and before its first firing in 15years. It doesn't look like this anymore - now the boilers gone black again! |

Welcome to the forum sarail.
I am intrigued by the Mamod MM1 in the backgound. It might be just the photo but it looks like the cylinder has come away from its back part. I have not seen that before, it must have been some serious fire to do that. I don't have the exact piston/cylinder at the moment but I do have an older type which I may list on ebay. If you want more details then please PM me. Is the crankshaft not saveable? If anything does come in I will let you know. Regards Will |

Thanks everyone for your kind welcomes.
Can someone tell me where I can purchase a new metho burner for my SE2? As for the MM1 - I honestly can't say what happened to it, it was my fathers, and he's asked if I could rebuild it to working condition for him. Can someone also please tell me where I can buy silver solder from? |

Nice cleanup there, well done. A forum member here Chris(Flywheel61) sells excellent Mamod decals to add the finishing touch to your model.
I don't think silver solder is necessary. Soft solder is ok for these models and quite strong for boiler fittings.. Just don't run the boiler dry
