Mamod steam engine I've had since I was young. I had to solder the steam pipe back to the engine. I'm firing it with wood alcohol.

  • hi, could you tell me what solder you used as i have the same problem with my minor 1 as well. thanks.

  • I used Radio Shack Lead-Free Solder Catalog #: 64-026 electronics solder and a small butane pencil torch. I'm quite positive that there are better ways to do it but it worked well for me. I got the work hot enough to take the solder and got lucky. Ive used the same torch to solder 1/4*20 nuts to tin cans for tripod mounted wi-fi cantennas and it hold quite well. Keep a steady hand and practice on something and the usual "I'm not responsible" applies. Send a video when you finish :)

  • I had a Mamod engine from around 1983, it's the same configuration but a little larger cant remember the model but it was fun to play with and I used it to power lego tecknic creations :D

  • many thanks for the info. ill take your advice and practice first and let you know how i get on and post video. thanks again.

  • Nicely done! Good repair and must feel pretty good seeing an old toy still provide enjoyment. Well played!

  • Wise advice!

  • You could do with a new washer and 'o' ring for maximum performance! nice little MM1 :)
