I've only got one example, so there won't be a lot on my table here.

This is a Mamod SL3 that came once again courtesy of ebay.

It has its two coaches all in good nick.

I've done nothing at all to it and it is as you see it.

Mamod SL3

That's great Sandy. I think that coaches matching the engine always look good. Do you have enough track to run it?

I've got about 25 pieces of curved rails Steve. I've never got round to trying it.

When I bought this set off ebay, the owner just posted a few pics and never mentioned that it was boxed.

The boxes are a bit tatty, but better than nothing.

This set may be for sale at the STIA this year along with the track.

Here are a couple of pics.

Why are you thinking about selling it? It's a lovley loco and probably the best coloured one too (except for the SL2 blue obviously   )

One of the first SL3's I believe, without that Spark arrestor chimney they used later on.

I wouldn't sell it. Steam it up Sandy!

Go on Sandy, steam her up mate.....

When I bought my Mamod loco I thought "I'll steam it once, then sell it"....that was 6 months and many, many steamings ago.
