 |
|
Hi,
I thought I'd inform you all that a individual is producing the perfect diesel companion for a Mamod/MSS steam loco, at the very good price of £62.50 + £4.50 P&P! There are photo's of the semi open cab loco here: www.rvlr.photos.gb.com/p38190627.html And the enclosed cab version here: www.rvlr.photos.gb.com/p38634030.html As for the one I had built with a few diffrences here: www.rvlr.photos.gb.com/p39329755.html
If you would like to purchase a loco like this you need to contact Peter Longfils, on his e-mail address rvlr_workshops(at)yahoo.co.uk (replace the (at) with @). |

That is good, I am looking for something that will be a bit safer to leave running with the baby about.
I have seen these before but didn't know he was in full production.

| He's not in full production, they are all constructed idividualy! The construction method is printed card glued on wood and finished of with a coat of varnish! And it's very effective. |

| No, it's very robust. And extremly well built. And if you have a certain accident and drive down the wrong siding and end up in the soil, the soil just wipes off. |

| It’ll haul 3 all heavy metal Mamod coaches up a 1 in 80 gradient! To me that is good preformance. the only problem I had was when i tryed to pull round my SL5 round with the cylinders on, it struggled but made it in the end. |

| It has a simple Forward-Off-Reverse with, and does not include a speed control, as not many locos on that chassis do. |

| I would say it's a very good loco, and you definatley get your moneys worth, and on request Peter may fit a speed conrol, but with a price increase of course. |

You seem to know him well. He is one of the original members of this forum but has never posted. Could ya drop him a line to say he has people interested in buying his products and get him to come on here so I could talk to him in person?
Cheers
