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 -> Locomotives Spule 4 Odd find on eBay, Creekside Forge and Foundry locomotive Listed as a Baltimore loco?   I have not even thought of these in several years?  Built in the US using the Mamod as influence back in the 1980s by a builder in New York. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI....sPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=003 They were 45mm gauge only however. Spule 4 http://www.sidestreetbannerworks.com/locos/loco4.html steamyjim Hmmm i like that! tmuir Looks like it has a few improvements over a Mamod like water heating pipes on the boiler. talluncle31 Creekside 'Baldwin' All the production Creeksides were gauge 1, but the prototype was gauge 0 and is I believe still owned by Marc Horovitz . His "Locomotive of the month" feature for August 2000 gives as much of the Creekside story as is known. My own example is unusual in that it was supplied in red, I understand all others were black. Murray Wilson tmuir Thanks for the info. I've put it in my watch list but it will probably got too high. I see its starting bid is $219 and has a reserve, any idea what it is worth?

Murray Wilson Yup, listed that above in the second message.  I remember these in the early issue of GR, but have never seen one "in the tin!" Spule 4 tmuir wrote: Thanks for the info.

I wouldn't do much more than the starting bid, but then 45mm gauge Mamods have been selling in the high $200s on eBay. While "inspired" by Mamod, I honestly do not know if any bits are interchangable in case of any repairs being needed. In the end, it will be worth exactly between what the top two bidders decide its worth! bessytractor wow a Creekside never seen one on Ebay before.  I'd buy it if I had the money. bessytractor Spule 4 wrote: tmuir wrote: Thanks for the info.

Graham-Jilly I like that   tmuir Spule 4 wrote: tmuir wrote: Thanks for the info. I've put it in my watch list but it will probably got too high.

In about 2 or 3 weeks time I will have a fully equipped workshop so should I ever need replacement parts I could make them myself. I figured the starting price was pretty close to what it was worth but just wanted to check. Thanks Spule 4 While it does have a defenite "rare" factor to it, I am not sure if it has any financial collectable status. tmuir Spule 4 wrote: While it does have a defenite "rare" factor to it, I am not sure if it has any financial collectable status. That suits me fine as rare expensive engines you don't really want to run and I like to run mine.   Spule 4 tmuir wrote: Spule 4 wrote: While it does have a defenite "rare" factor to it, I am not sure if it has any financial collectable status.
