After upgrading my garden shelf railway with parts from ScrewFix and B&Q, I finally let my Mamod Queen's Golden Jubilee Engine stretch its legs.
This runs on 0-gauge (SM32 scale) track, and unusually for an engine this small it actually has double acting cylinders with valve gear, rather than the simpler oscillating cylinders that more recent Mamod engines sport.
A full tank of butane and boiler of hot water lasts about 15 minutes, but much tweaking of the regulator is needed to maximise the running time. It didn't help that the regulator knob snapped off on only its third ever running. Hopefully that was age (there were 19 years since the previous attempt!) rather than poor quality... But looking at the poor riveting, probably not...
