Prior to starting my modification of Mamod SL engines, I did some restorations and modification of Mamod, Stuart and Wilesco stationary engines and Mamod mobiles.
During that time, I collected up numerous spare parts from different sources. Eventually I ended up with enough pieces to do something with them. The creation featured here (a Mamesco called 'BITSA') is mainly Mamod parts with some Wilesco bits thrown in for good measure. The fire box is a simple scratch build from metal sheet and the base and engine 'frame' are made with wooden off-cuts I had available at the time.
If you have an interest in steam toys and model steam engines, then I recommend you visit The Unofficial Mamod & Other Steam Forum - The Original Toy Steam Forum Established in 2006. Just click here. You will find a friendly and very knowledgeable bunch of folks with a passion for steam from all around the globe. Join up and introduce yourself!
