hello
mamod have been thinking mamod have made lots of limited edition but what is your favorite one
my favorite one is the samson traction engine
I loved it so much I got one
The short boilered traction engine is cute. I have a black one from Forest classics. they are as powerful as a TE being the same in most respects, but more compact, like the Thomas the tank engine illustrations in the old books. Rather like the original SR. _________________ Cheers

I suppose its the MM twin for me, not a numbered limited edition, but limited in the numbers made and great.
For the modern ones its probably the Hamleys bus or delivery van- both different but not outrageously so, its just right IMHO. _________________ You cant get an engine for that anymore unless you are lucky
Whether a Ford or a Ferrari, whatever I can get to carry me near or far, just give me any car. I love to ride the Tar, an old Excalibar; yes, any motor car. And I'll be happy - ho-ho! Messing around in cars!
Oh, what dust clouds I shall make! What cars I shall fling into the ditch! _________________
I do like the sort boiler TE but why dose mamod not make a double action pistion version
The boiler is not long enough to mount the extended frame for the fixed cylinder engine to be mounted
Then the first to do it will be unique.
It just needs shortening or the shaft moved back over the firebox with an adjustment to the flywheel to avoid a clash with the back wheel, eg a narrow one like the Wilesco.
Its so tempting..... _________________ Cheers
