I belive the builder of the model shown was responsible for that article. Would anyone have an idea to as an issue number? Will

Not that one, the little mamod infront of it. Look at the cylinder closley and the piston.. it twists, or does something.. thats the arangement id like more info on. To ideally build my own!

Hello All, I attended the twyford waterworks open day on sunday and was talking to a chap with a table full of intersting models made from all sorts of bits. Mainly hot air. He had an intersting little mamod engine wich can be seen in this video at 0.05 seconds for a while. I am keen to make...

Another question and a bit of an update.... I started to make my own wheels but realised the time it was taking id loose heart in the project pretty fast so they have been put aside whilst I am using compass house ones. Something I wanted to know was, im using a chain drive to the layshaft...

I have been given a large 12V motor from somone at the model club so the wipers have been abandoned :D

Hey All, Just thought Id keep you all abreast with the development i am making. I decided against 31/2" as this topic started and am copying the design of a Locomotive allready in the club for a very simple 5" Toby Tram. I have ordered the barings, Made a start on the wheels, I need to...

A change of plan! Talking to a old member of the model engineers about my idea.. he has given me the "going electric" plans from the model engineer in a photocopied form. The wheels are made from stock and the drive is achieved via chain and sproket.. He is happy to give me a atco mower...

Thats very interesting stuff rich. Thank you. The more I look into it the more it seems its a viable way to do it.. Will

I completley agree with you! The way I look at it is.. if all else fails I will have a rob roy chassis I can either strip down and rebuild as a propper rob roy or sell on... Ive found somone who has done it with wiper motors on 21/2! Speed dosnt really concern me at this stage.. id just like...

Dont know if this sort of stuff is posted here but.. A few weekends ago was horrid outside and so I dug through my bits box and found the parts to make this... Only took an afternoon but if i where to do it again I would try and get the crankshaft center in a more accurate position. Use...

Found this snippet of info online this morning.. Not sure what motor or wiper it is from but it was a standard part for a car I know that. 12 volts, on high speed, the motor has 13.5 pound-feet and on low speed, has 17.5 pound-feet of torque.

Many Thanks Nick I did find the post you where talking about.. Very interesting stuff the guy did. I was thinking something similar but with a chain drive... (something like over 80% effective drive ??? ) I have found pictures of what id like to achive, station road steam had something in...

Hello Nick Thanks very much for that link, it is most helpfull... I thought about windscreen wiper motors because they are small, and allready have a gear box on them so you replace the wiper with a chain sprocket. There was also insperation from the recent ebay auction wich was a rob...

Hello All, Id Like to build an 0-6-0 in either 31/2 or 5" but a Battery electric. The most obvious thing to start with is either the rob roy or simplex chassis... The rob roy appeals more as it would be smaller and more managable to work on I think for myself and my limited facilities...

Thanks guys!

Hi all, Im new to this forum and am hoping to learn some good advise! Ive been collecting mamod engines for a while now and have just started building my own scratch built of the same sort of size. I an also a voulenteer at the twyford water works trust who have just had a sucessfull model...
