Back in January 2009, I was looking for information about the Mamod stationary engines on the internet. I stumbled across 'The Unofficial Mamod & Other Steam Forum' (UMAOSF) and have been a forum member ever since. It's a fantastic resource and a great group of like minded model steam fans. In 2012, I acquired a well used but running Mamod SL via the forum sale board. Then in early 2013, one of the members went to the trouble of having a forum badge produced. I purchased two of them. These two events provided the means and inspiration to build a forum tribute engine. The engine already benefitted from numerous period modification parts as supplied by Kenversions and really just needed a thorough makeover. I constructed some matching rolling stock to complement the engine and PJLW#08 was born.
