If you've ever watched the show, they rarely actually show how something is made--unless it's something edible. The show should have been called, "How It's Assembled."

The British voiceover is the bomb.

The only problem with brass as a boiler is that it will suffer De-Zincification over time which makes the brass porous when we build our boilers we use 660 bronze to make the fittings and full copper for the jacket tubesheet crownsheet and flues and silver solder now these are very nice models I give them that :D

Great to see these working, must get mine out for a blast

Had to come back and watch this after finding out mamod has closed after nearly 90 years shame

And that is how they make a somewhat accurate version of Trever the traction engine

remember to use distilled water even in soft water areas

i think this is a very interesting how its made episode that shows how Mamod builds their live steam traction engines my Dad got one for my grandad and both dad and him loved steaming it up

love mamod

Nice to see manual machines still being used by this factory in England.

I like the larger scale models like 1"scale and up they have double acting cylinders and the real final drives.

I like to see steam engines to be made professionally.I own a blue steam lorry, now I know how its made ! :-)

Thx for the video Doug its very interesting

@rome877 water, a few drops of oil, and one or two tealight candles (cheaper than sterno)

Yes

this is cool , nice an simple

this job is cool i want that job!!

awesome ! ! !

Cool stuff...looks expensive thought?

Without differentials the wheels will slide. Are there any models that have differentials?

@PKMotoren A matter of opinion there and you pays your money and takes your pick esp more money for a Wilesco.

@22zson some are up to 900 dollers overall i dont know but id like one so bad

@PKMotoren couldnt agree more

cool

nitrox you can get them on the internet or some shops do them

where do you get one of them

corr...they must have the best job in the world. Really excellent vid. Yo ! :o]

On eBay you can get finished ones for only 40 to 50 pounds. :)

very gd vid

Not its not,I'm stating that "Their soldering is crap" which is not "They are or they're",read it again.The soldering belongs to them therefore it is "Their soldering" if they were in the process of soldering then it would be "They are (or they're) soldering the boiler"

how much gas does it burn?

I'm guessing these engines use pellets to boil the water. One has to special order the pellets.

cuanto te costo

Iove...u....Fc..

i have that first modle

Why does he sound different?

i wanty the Mamod Stationary Engine (SP4)

The last Mamod I had was powered by mineral spirits. Available in any hardware store. The Wilesco engines take fuel pellets. The Mamod engines are also much better made than the Wilesco.

just bought a mamod te1a with a canopy for 170 quid..YAY

Their soldering on the pipes into the boiler needs much to be desired,when he solers it,it only goes round one side of the pipe.engines shown later are just as bad,if worse!

too many puns

For sele

How much does one of these little diddies cost I wonder
