Short video of Mamod SL1 Loco, modified with Mike Chaney boiler, in cab regulator, meths burner and Slide Valve Cylinders! Purchased the modified loco second hand, I'd be interested in finding out more of the history of this loco!

Locomotive is a superb little runner, running fairly fast in this video as trying to operate the camcorder and drive the loco at the same time! I'm really pleased with this purchase!

  • What track do you use in this video?

  • @steamtoysRUS It's PECO SM32 Flexitrack

  • All it needs now is a summerlands chuffer!

  • It would be nice to fit one, the loco is very quiet as it is, just the occasional gurgle! It would be a fairly tricky job to fit a Summerlands chuffer though as the chimney is fairly short, also the pipework is very tight as the loco is inside framed and it has the twin exhausts from the slide valve cylinders...

    cool would mamod track work well

  • @MamodMan1 I believe that the cylinders are homebuilt rather than a commercially produced part. However there were a couple of people who were interested in producing an upgrade set of slide valve cylinders and valve gear for the humble Mamod loco.

  • that is a really nice runner smooth could you find out where those Cylinders please.

  • What a small world! I just found you at my video of the barber shop business. SO NICE of you to give a kind word! And, you probably know me from a certain UK toy steam forum, owned by a young Lancsman, name of James Chantry?

    Are you a member at The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam Forum? I just about bet that you are there, and I know you there.

    Wonderful video work! Five stars, most definitely! First rate! The great pioneer would applaud, you know: George Stephenson!

    He's in your spirits!

  • Yes, the whistle is extended, it's still quite high pitched but also very very loud!

    It's a great way to scare the cat out of the way!

  • hmmm, interesting looking thing, nicely proportioned! has the whistle had an extension to make it less ear peircing?
