What a superb loco!! What is the gear ratio please? It runs at a really nice speed. I’ve noticed a lot of people making geared Mamod conversions tend to gear them too low so they crawl along making loads of steam and noise…

@@bl7355 it is difficult to know the gear reduction because is home made and using mamod oscillating cylinders. I’ll ask Michael who owns the engine.

I have a question, do you plan on, or have any engines with lit up cabs, or lamps? If you do plan on or do have any, how does it work? Is it like a candel or-

Hmm. Interesting question. I don’t have any locos with lit cabs and have never considered it. I’ll have to give that some thought.

That is neat. I have seen these Geoof/ Hyde Out Mountain type Mamod cylinder shays before. They are really neat kitbash. I had one like it years ago and sadly sold it :(. I have a unused Mamod Marine motor but I have no idea how to make the universal joints and gears etc. Thanks for sharing it runs great with a nice wood cab.
