After a good washing with mild soapy water and a fair bit of brasso and elbow grease, its come up a treat. Before Today Now to start that monster of a  "Wells TE"   Wallace Wow, well done with that cleanup, and purchase. I can't beleive the condition it's in    Not even the chrome has pitted. A beautiful example bessytractor that chrome is a joy to look at, well done   Manxman A perfect bloody model. Very nice. Now get back to cleaning that Wells. We want it looking just as good. pauly what a perfect example of a sr1     Mamodman123 Looks great   really in top condition.

Right the Wells is DONE.. http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org/sutra235072.php#235072 Funny you say I should post a picture of my SR1 N&B and my TE N&B together! It’s long been an ambition of mine to re produce the picture on page 54 of the Mamod Bible, its the one with the TE and SR1 together. NOW at last I can... watch this space in the next couple of weeks     Lights Camera Action....Go Mamod Go kusuchi Great looking engine, fantastic condition. I want one just like it. Les That has come out very nice as well, the thing is though, are you going to steam it?? Kritika Not sure Les, Still not decided if its one of those that are just too rare to steam. I have other similar SR1’s that I steam instead. Still I may do it anyway....   Griffin Kritika wrote: Not sure Les, Still not decided if its one of those that are just too rare to steam.

Atticman Thats really good, will sure complement the TE1 as well, what a great collection youre getting. How did you clean the chrome on yours ? I can understand your worry re steaming it, the chrome does get singed Kritika Atticman wrote: Thats really good, will sure complement the TE1 as well, what a great collection youre getting. How did you clean the chrome on yours ? I can understand your worry re steaming it, the chrome does get singed Just warm soapy water and a toothbrush, to clean the chrome cowling mate!   I have searched for ages for one with a good chrome cowling, as I have a 1961 with a realy bad cowling   (see my website). I find that is the part that always goes on these early models, and their is nothing you can do about it. So the condition of the cowling is the bit I concentrate on when I am thinking of buying one. johnreid That sure did clean up nicely, I will have to get another some day, all of these beautiful pictures of yours dont help my pocketbook though as it makes me surf Ebay more often. GUTMACH Elbow Grease Wow, you must have alot of elbow grease ! Nice job, and nice photos too. Wayde davo453 I sold the SR1 to Steve and boy it did come up nicely didn't it. New it was too cheap You can see the before pics here www.courtrade.com/mamods Very well done Steve Cheers Dave        The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam Forum Forum Index -> Collections and pics Page 1 of 1
