Pre-war Mamod SE2Hi guys!
You probably remember this engine that was on ebay. Anyway I struck a deal with Chris a while back that I would swap something I had if a pre-war SE2 came along. One did, so we did a swapsie  So a big thanks to Chris for making this happen 
This Mamod SE2 is quite an early one I think. It has the Hobbies colours and the early Mamod/Hobbies type box. I've not seen one like it before but it's 100% totally original with base/firebox all original. It was built around 1937-39 probably closer towards 37.
I now have SE1, SE2, SC3, SE4 all pre-war so it's nice to have a set of engines. I've attached some pictures below.
My pre-war engines above there.
All I need now is the pre-war SE3 and MM1/MM2, oh and the SC2/4 if i'm to totally complete the range. Well, you never know when one might turn up

I suppose preservation is better than damaging the original material. It would be interesting to see one going though.

It has been fired before, once or twice maybe!
I think MJ and Darren fired theirs on here at some point

excellent, if I had one I don't think I'd fire it, but I think I'd put an air line on it just for laughs.
