Well, there are no words, super, amazing work👍
I couldn't agree more.
I have one of these I bought in St Andrew’s Scotland in 1966 . Still runs great.
Nnn
I have some words: "Roll on, my beauty."
This shows just how good Mamod toys were when built originally.
This was a blast from the past! I never owned one, but a good friend from school did. He lived in a close, so traffic was minimal and we could play in the road. We never used the steering post, but fired it up - and nobody in the early 1970's got into a tizz about schoolkids playing about with matches or methylated spirits - and just let it go. Great fun!
If you lived in a 'close' you were slightly better off than average then, your friend probably had well to do parents, bet he got the number ten meccano set as well!, very happy days though, when the world was normal.
Great fun they indeed were. I too never owned the engine featured on the video here, but did have a stationary Mamod engine that I had hours of fun with.
In an attempt to make this engine "mobile", I fitted it out with wheels, steering linkage and a pulley drive system made from Meccano.
With an over filled meths burner creating huge flames that licked out from the sides of the burner box, the engine moved pretty well under its own power, but was well and truly defeated come the slightest incline.
@@keithpearson7539 - Yup. Good to see someone playing with such a potentially lethal toy in the correct manner. Enquiring minds, and all that. 👍👍👍😆😆😆
even extends to my generation (im 14), me grandad gave me his old mamod and its brilliant fun!
@@brianartilleryhmm how old are u now dude?
Nice job and awesome editing 👍
Thank you so much my friend 😌 I learn a lot watching you ;)
Giving life to this beauty great work
I love watching miniature engines and motors being restored and working. It`s a secret passion of mine.
My Godfather had a collection of steam powered toys he started collecting when he was a kid in the 1940's. He never stopped adding to his collection. I will have to check but, I think this is the exact model steam roller that he had. It brings back great memories, Thanks!
Thank you ! Very touching to bring the memories back 😌🙏
Work of art mate
Supernice item. Great job and video❤
Wonderful job.
Great restoration, a reminder of my happy childhood, we had some properly dangerous toys to play with back then, but it taught us respect for things that, if not handled correctly could bite you back!.
True… quite dangerous toys.., Always thrilling to light them up 😱😰😅
Steam engines, electrical, and chemistry sets from the 70s. All toys that taught children to respect fire and current.
Yup..........
Remember when it was perfectly normal for a 12 or 13 year old kid to carry a pocket knife ? .......... In school?
No one thought a thing of it.
@@jonduggan7433 still do, we sixties and seventies kids had our fights like everyone else but, we wouldn't even dream of taking our knife and sticking it in another person, it was unthinkable, scores were settled there and then with fists if required, of course what the government media and cops don't tell you is that knife crime isn't committed by 'us' if you know what i mean.
Yes, used to have a sheath knife on my snake belt on display!
Before it was a working model steamroller, now it is a display worthy.
It looks adorable.😂
Absolutely beautiful.
Masterful work.......👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
another amazing job
Why do we not have toys like this anymore!
That is so cool, and wow what a restoration job.
Nicely done
You always have unique items to restore,
Wow! The golden age of toys!
Continue the great work
Beautiful job i like thanks
Just….brilliant!
Thanks so much for sharing 😊
Deserves an Academy Award! 👍👍
Amazing!
Another fantastic restoration: I love watching your restoration work .
Thank you !! Glad you appreciated it 🙌
That's the coolest toy I've ever seen.
I would have given my eye teeth for a Mamod steam engine when I was a kid.
Very complicated restoration but very well executed. Congratulations!
Beautiful.
Awesome restoration. Also, very adorable
Toys from a different age for sure. Beautiful restoration!!
This could not have been an affordable toy for most kids (or adults) back then. Very nice restoration!
I found an advertisement for a later model(1969) it was $24.99, or about $250 USD in today's money
@@liveyourbestlife3785 Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely beautiful restoration.
What an amazing restoration 🎉❤
Magnificent. Excellent job.
Awesome job, TheFabrik
So cute and amazing job ☺️👍
had this exact one as a kid
Nice trinket.
Beautiful restoration, videography, and editing. Well done, sir.
wonderful job
Terrific work and what a cool little toy that could NEVER be sold to children today! Makes me miss the good old days when a kid could walk into a nickel and dime store and get a cap gun that shot off real little gunpowder caps or a dart board or a pressure pump water rocket or a chemistry set with real chemicals...glass test tubes and an alcohol lamp. When I was 10 years old, there used to be a mom and pop store in town called Green's where you could buy replacement chemicals, Estes rockets (the big "D" engines!), working steam engines and gasoline powered Cox piston engine airplanes and dragsters. Nobody got hurt, everyone was happy, nobody made pipe bombs from the innards of solid rocket motor cartridges etc...just good adventurous clean fun for curious kids! What happened to us? How did our society, in the name of keeping us safe, take all of the discovery, adventure and fun out of being a child? Electric motor planes...Velcro tipped darts and boards? No mini explosions...no smoke...no little piston engine noises etc...boring!
I can’t agree more with what you said. Thanks a lot for these words, always touching to bring the memories back 😌🙏 I have children and they really don’t care about those old toys 🤷♂️ so… we’re lost 🥴😅
I've read somewhere that each and every safety measure was applied after an accident, so your memories may be as well just a survivor bias.
I agree, though, that we became probably way too safe, but on the other hand - if you want this type of toy for your child and are able to learn them how to use it properly, you can still do it, buy it as a vintage or even make your own (and if you are unable to make it, the same rant may be used - because the previous generation was probably able to make such toys :D ).
SO UNDERRATED
Great work and fine result. Your humor is much appreciated!
Thank you !! Glad you enjoyed 😌🙌
OUTSTANDING
Absolutely stunning results! It's so satisfying to watch.
That is the coolest toy ever. I love it ❤
Now, add one servo, receiver, and batteries and you got yourself a real toy!
For many, this is enough
I love the attention and extra work you put into sound recording and scene setup. Your videos are a work of art! As I said before, you're the Stanley Kubrick of Restoration Video Creators!
Wow thank you very much !
You have no idea how it helps !! 😌🙏
Perfect Video 😊
Великолепно сделано!!! Отлично! Браво. Снимаю шляпу... Побольше бы такого контента на фоне китайских "псевдо-реставраторов". Жму руку и желаю и дальше заниматься любимым делом и радовать нас!
Thank you very much 🙏 Glad you appreciated it 😌
Крутая игрушка!!! Я очень доволен просмотром и результатом, моё почтение автору!
Thank you very much !!!
La rareté du jouet n'a d'égal que la qualité de la restauration, félicitations!
Merci beaucoup 😌🙏
Took me back to Christmas day 1965 unboxing my one. Best present ever. Thanks for bringing that little boys memories back to me. I might just get it out and fire it up again!!
Thank you ! Always touching to bring the memories back 😌🙏 I hope you’ll enjoy it still 😉
I think toys from the past were more fun than today's. At least the ones you restore are super cool! 😎
Thank you very much !
That was so satisfying to watch. I have a Mamod Traction engine that I was given for Xmas 1968. It still works and is in pretty good condition.
Thank you ! I hope you’re still enjoying it 😉
Браво мастер, реставрация катка блестящая. Игрушка интересная. Спасибо за видео, лайк однозначно.
Thank you !!! 😌👍
The main thing I really love about your restorations ? Are they are real rust and patina . Not those 100 year old finds with that fake ass material that most others have on them .
Oh finally someone who knows !!! 😉 Thank you very much 🙏
That material is what happens when you put paint in vinegar
TOOT! TOOT!
Here comes a rolling FIRE HAZARD! 😂
Britain produced some great toys back in the day; Dinky, Meccano, Corgi, Matchbox, to mention a few and Mamod is one of them. Great restoration.
For sure !! Thank you very much 🙏
Great job and great vid Changing the "mood" of the little pipe after polishing the steamtank is sooo funny ! 😂 😂
😅👍
Профессионал!
god i remember these as a kid !!!! they were soooooooooo expensive !!! i would have loved the car one but als never ever had the money !!! thats beautiful work right there !!!!
Thank you very much ! I think Mamod is still producing ans selling those steam toys 👍
Man I would have a hard time repeating one of those beautiful brass toys. I think they look very beautiful with just the Polish.👌
I had one of these as a kid and I just loved it, if I remember right the fuel used was mentholated spirit. Sadly I have no idea what happened to it as I grew up. Great restoration.
Thank you ! My mistake 🙌 Zippo fuel was a bad choice 🥴
リアル蒸気機関シリーズはやっぱり良いなぁ！
He is cleaning only outside not inside of things but hard working bro keep well
this has to be the record for most hidden faces on different parts of one object 😆
Haha not my fault. So many faces on that roller 😂
sometime restoration look better then the original
Fantastic, i owned a few of these engines when i was a kid. Most were incomplete but all worked. A testiment to their ruggedness
Glad to bring the memories back 😉🙌
Wow that's amazing work turned out fantastic attention to detail out of the world well done 👍
Nice work
I used to live by the Mamod factory, Thornes road Brierley hill, birmingham. All the kids had one,,great memories,, Great vid..
Oh wow you are lucky :) Someone told me it was a very small factory, family business…
@@TheFabrikI went to the factory back in 2018, it was great
Very cool project, outstanding work
Thank you ! Glad you appreciated it 😌🙏
As always……amazing!!
Thank you !!! 🙌
Дело мастера боится!!!
👍👍👍
I have a Mamod roller in a similar condition. Wish i had your ability to restore it. Fantastic.
Beautiful! Terrific piece of work 👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Comme d habitude de tres belles restauration.
Merci beaucoup !!!
That wipe after the red powder coat on the wheels = Perfection
Powder coating is so satisfying 😉
They don't make toys like that anymore. Great job on restoring this old classic.👍👍
Thank you very much 🙏
Not only are your restorations relaxing to watch but I love the editing and the once and a while funny elements👍🏼🙌🏼
Awesome! Probably worth some money!
Man, that thing looks great, you always do a fantastic job!
amazing work👍
アンティークのオモチャは時代を超えても良いオモチャ。しかも、それを大人が、楽しんでる。
Lovely work👍👍.
Well done! That's a lovely wee thing. It looks better now than when it left the factory.
Awesome job loved the vid. Thank you
We love a good old steam roller, what a beauty. I love your work everytime you post, its damn amazing man
Heron would be amazed at what his invention laid the basis for in today's world.
‘Railways are no good… turn them into roads!’ Haha great restoration! 10/10!
😉👍 Thank you !!!
Back in my day when I was a kid, I loved big machines, so I wanted to be a train driver.
Half of my dream came true, I started driving tractors. A big machine that could turn left and right.
Fantastic job you did restoring the live steam road roller. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work.
Kid: "When can I play with it?"
Dad: "In a moment son, in a moment."
As in a few years
@@TTTEclub Toys for boys. 😂
Better than new
Bril! When kids were allowed to be kids. Great job!. Nice one, Nuff said. 🙂
Thanks a lot 🙌
Amazing restoration!
Great job 👍.
