[7788james7788]

how long do you leave your mamod to get high presser because i heve got the Sr1a

[DANATRINGWOOD]

im gunna get one of these soon but showmans ones arnt easy to find

[steamfan1998]

Just wondering, if you pour boiling water straight into the boiler will the sight glass crack

[Easterntractorboy135]

@steamfan1998 Nope, well it hasnt yet!

[FINDaCHANNEL]

@steamfan1998 it shouldn't break i put boiling water straight into a stationary engine thingy when i use it also best to use distilled water so any left over water in there wont corrode the inside

[FINDaCHANNEL]

the generator is called a dynamo :-)

I love these little live steam models. My mate had one when we were younger and we always had it going.

I will have to get one and have a play. Thanks for sharing this nice video.

Lovely model - I'm rather envious! Wouldn't it be great if Mamod made a ferris wheel or roundabout that could be powered by the electricity generated by the showman's dynamo? I managed it once with a standard TE1a using a Lego Technic motor as a dynamo to power a small Lego ferris wheel until the engine melted the Lego base plate!

I wonder what the output of the showmans engine dynamo is?

[zakyboi123]

do u acctually use distiled water :/ or normal water ny way awsum lil engine :D

[39noobtuber]

beast nice machine

[tich4472]

nice engine i will hav to add one to my engines. don't worry bout the leak it is a common problem. it should be fine. if u want it gone just put a new washer on it. that should stop it. 5*!

[chopkinsss]

The safety valve will leak thats what its meant to do, if the pressure becomes too much in the boiler it will push the little bit in the middle of the safety valve up and release some pressure so it does not blow up because the boilers are nly made to take so much pressure. The older mamod are more likely to blow up because they were not pressure tested and believe me they do blow up it happened to my friend!

[grasmere1999]

there ace i got 1 for christmas and i liked it so much i got a steam wagon im looking for a workshop for them. keep steaming

[steamwally]

I think to cure the water leak you just need to tighten the safety valve!

Nice engine anyway!

[billybillybillyboone]

what was that thing coming out of the smoke stack?

[Easterntractorboy135]

Sorry, I Dont Know What You Mean ?

[FelixTheHouseFreak]

He means that knob like thing that sticking out of there. It looks as if you were using it to adjust throttle.

[burrellboy98]

Its the steering rod

[ARF1LMS]

[carefreeforcfc]

Snazzy steamer, I have a steam roller, but I melted the gauge glass and its sprung a little leak!

Oh well.

I have found a website that fixes them, but I dont know the prices!

How many mamods have you got anyway?

[Easterntractorboy135]

Thanks For The Comment!

Great video!! Me and my dad were going to get one of these at one point. We did because the man in the barbers had a few mamods and said that his son nearly blew up the house!! I still think there cool though!!
