Phantom - The Ghost That Walks...Hi my name is Phantom or more normally Known as Tony.I got called Phantom becouse Iam small, pale skinned and move around the building sites where I work quietly. My age? as old as my tongue and slightly older than my teeth! or mid 40 ish. I live in Lancashire near the Yorkshire border in the same town that I was born and where I grew up. In order to earn a crust I have done various jobs, inc teahing, currently I work as a Security Systems Installation Engineer for a large national company. This means that I get about a bit. Currently I am working on getting my workshop running again, having just refubished the atic where my lathe and milling machine both live. My 1st Mamod was an SP1 which I still own, I bought it when I was in my early teens. My collection has grown slowly over the years and I have lost count of how many inhabit the house with me now. I do Know that it icludes a couple of Bowman engines, some Stuart,s and a long term project of a 2" Cayton Undertype wagon. I am very new to forums and dont want to upset anyone, so if I have made or make a mistake or just mess up let me know. |

Some rather rare engines in that collection of yours Looks like you've progressed well with the Clayton! Who made the boiler?
|
||
| Phantom |
Glad you like my collection
|
||
| James |
I don't like your collection, I love it!! the best collection I have ever seen!! | ||
| Phantom |
boiler was made by Blackgates Engineering.
It has taken me 2 years to get this far as restoring and repairing the Mamod,s comes first. |

Do you have any mobiles in your collection, or do you only specialise in flatbase stationaries?

Whatever happened to phantom ?
Been over a month since he was last here And we''re still waiting for those SE3'4'S close ups .....
I wonder if phantom is young Malins posting undercover As that is one hell of a collection of flat bases .......
|
||
| Mamodman123 |
Not sure Mike he has a lovely collection that we all wanted to see a bit closer . I doubt he's a Malins but you never know
|
||
| SPOKESMAN |
Steve Malins sold his collection. | ||
| Wallace |
Well that crushes that theory.
I was wondering if it were a Malins? Anyway, whoever it was, they lived up to the name of Phantom
|
||
| sparky |
certainly did been and gone
lets hope he comes back i wanted a look at his collection again
|
||
| Phantom |
Sorry for disapearing act guys, but unfortunately work comes first...
I am not a member of the Malins family.... As soon as I can grab an hour or two I will do close ups of some of the SE3s and the 4 as well as the minors.... |
