Seriously nice bit of engineering there. Fit and finish certainly appear to beat that of its ancestors. There might just be a brand new line of collectors engine on the market

Nice one.
I will need to watch that again when I get home as on my laptop speakers it was so quiet I couldn't hear anything.

Must resist urge to buy another engine.

They are called steam engines and not shelf engines so it had to be done.

I won't be buying any unfired Mamods on eBay (and paying a premium) as it I know I won't be able to resist temptation.

mc that engine runs brilliantly, so quiet.

I am just the same, I couldn't resist the urge to fire an engine if I bourght it.

Wow! I really enjoyed watching these videos.

I have ordered one of these engines and it was shipped earlier. It should arrive in about a week.

As you did, I will be firing mine up right away.

Do any other forum members that own these twins fire their's up?

I am also going to need some help with the burner, how much wick do I use?

Thanks!

Did you order the twin wick burner or just the single wick? Mine had the single wick version as that was all that was on offer at the time.

I'd just cut the wick off level with the tube (it doesn't have to be exact) and see how you go. It's simple enough to raise it if you've not got enough speed, you can just blow it out pull it up with some pliers and relight.

I'm sure you'll be delighted with yours.

I got the single wick. If I ever wanted the 2-wick, I could probably order it at a later date.

How much wick do you put down inside the burner?

Michael you're a true trailblazer. Wonderful watching those vids! I had to turn
up the speaker volume but you're right, they do purr. What a fine product from
Ian of MF Steam!
