Hello all my name is Les but I see somebody already beat me to that name on here.
 My interests lie with Manods of the 60s/early70s and those only with meths burners rather than solid fuel. I had an SE1 and a steam roller in my pre teens and early teens hence my interest in this era. I never did find out what happened to them but suspect my mum gave them away to some school jumble sale or other.    

I have a total of 6 engines 3 static (along with various tools) and 3 mobile (with various trailers etc) all of which I shall be showing on here when I get round to it. I have started with showing my Mamod Roadster which is a recent eBay purchase and have put a short video of it running for the first time today which you can view in the video forum.

Les.


This could have got got confusing.   Hello and welcome from Les.  


Got got? Sounds like somebody is already confused    


I was very tired and was going through nearly 200 unread posts.
