have you done any modifications to the engine if so what are they


You're going to regret asking that

So far i have:
fitted meths burner and topup valve
high pressure safety valve (35psi)
fine control regulator
new mamod wheel sets
complete repaint
resoldered boiler
drilled hole in bottom of smoke box to let water out
replaced plastic sight glass


and a new polished chimney cap and steam dome

told you you'd regret it

so far its done 278 real miles and doesn't show ant signs of stopping


not much then.

I enjoyed the video, your mamod runs very sweetly, some nice rolling stock too! I liked some of the little extra details you added to your line, like the bridge and the crossing gates, those little touches really add a lot of character and scale to a garden railway.
