  • To the uninitiated, why is it such a good engine?

  • @mayhem001boats

    The Hobbies/Mamod SE4 steam engines are extremely rare

    They where only made for four years (1936-1940)

    With a estimated production run of around 1500

    And they where hand made by Geoffrey Malins himself (The founder of Mamod)

    And of course they are extremely charasmatic and powerfull engines

  • It sure runs smooth.

  • Thx Ray, they new how to make things in 1937

  • Is there anyway of regulating the steam output to the piston? i would like to control the piston speed (musical experiment)

  • Not really with this model, you could open and close the whistle which would alter the steam presure

    You would be better useing a Mamod SE2 or SE3 which had a steam regulator
