I’ve always been fascinated by how stationary steam engines and traction engines can use drive belts and line shafts to power nearly any mechanical device. These are such fun toys! I love my Wilesco steamroller.
my dad got one of the steam tractors for my Grandad many years ago now. it turned out that Grandpa wasn't interested in steam engines so the puffer eventually ended up being given to me.
Hmmmm my Mamod Traction Engine that I had as a kid (must dig it out again) never moved that fast. I ran it stationary most of the time as cylinder didn't seem to have the power to move it.
They need hobby grade RC electronics in them . You'll sell more models that way and to leave a spare servo plug for an AIO First Person View camera would also be a great selling feature . I think the best way of doing it would be to have it as an upgrade kit for all ground based models, cheers from America your models have been a big inspiration to me I hope I've been helpful
morning wes in the next couple of weeks we will be releasing for the larger locos a tender with remote control .with a battery pack receiver and a jack so a servo can be plugged in.thanks for the suggestions
Superb and lovely models, BUT one thing is amiss. I can not , with my best will understand that Mamod with such an experience in model steam engines continue to use these silly oscillating cylinders. It is SO MUCH more realistic to use real double acting cylinders with flat or round valves. The locomotives, steam rollers er vintage cars looks silly with the humming bird like motion of the oscillating cylinders. Wilesco of Germany have done it right. But on the other hand, the Mamod models ( the rolling units that is) are generally better in design and detail. So Mamod: Real steam engines have valve gear with excentric transmission……..

It's amazing you found someone that can keep up with a TE1, I'm pretty sure the scale speed is about 3000mph!

@@Mamod2024 you are welcome I hope to see a whole line of professional grade rc equipment for your models :-) in the future
I like the idea of keeping electronics an option since at least for me the appeal comes from the fact that the models are purely mechanical.
if you drill a hole in the plastic knob you can attach a servo
Good vidio
speak spanish? yo si xd
I like it
Why not on tv?
2:09 Which model is that?
Pete Bristo mamod luxury limousine go onto the mamod website you will find it!
I have the same sw1
Why are they British? Why are they steam driven? Because 1970's, boi
Good sir these are miniature models for hobbiests, I have the steam roller and it's great.
Who made this song? Anyone knows?

But I personally think that the oscillating cylinders are the thing that makes mamod so special and nostalgic
I have a Wilesco steamroller, so I like them better for their cylinders, but Mamod has a great line of railway models.
