Hello!

I'm Daniel.... A 29 year old man from the city Skövde in Sweden. I've always been interrested in models and built a lot of plastic models and some brass models for model railways.

I work as a system developer at the Electrolux plant in Mariestad here in Sweden where we make the top models of fridge/freezers for all electrolux brands.

For some weeks ago I started my old Wilesco D6 with my son, and thought it was wery fun now after all these years. So then I looked att the internet for some other engines and I found a Mamod SR1 that i ougt for 50 euro, that I'm gonna restore, maybe with some help from you!

/Daniel
