Ready to roll!

I'd like to thank Keith Wilson for the kind donation of a set of wheels. They do need a little work to be perfect and useable, but that is exactly what I want for this little project.

Thanks Keith!

Please have a look about for any scrap, unwanted Mamod/MSS parts that you no longer need - regardless of condition.

Picking up the batten!

I am proud to say that the parts stock for getting this engine built is moving very quickly - quicker than I expected!

Yesterday I received two parcels of goodies from Matt Nunn and my good friend Doug Roberts.

Matt was kind enough to go rummaging through his scrap pile on his layout and kindly send me the parts below for a very tiny sum (postage costs really) and Doug sent the items shown in the bottom picture.

Many thanks for your help and support guys and don't forget to have a look in your spares/parts boxes for any broken, warn out, butchered or rusty unwanted Mamod/Mss loco parts, thank you.

More developments...

Yesterday I received one of the more crucial parts for the loco, a boiler!

Peter Jones (aka superbiker_uk on mamodforums) has kindly donated this boiler. He advises that it will need some remedial work to make it a working pressure vessel, but that is something that I can do.

Thank you so very much Peter, you are a star! :-)

The first steps

Hi everyone,

The Charity Loco has stepped up a gear, we now have our first parts for the build kindly donated by Kevin Gregory. Thanks Kevin, your generosity is very much appreciated! :-) Kevin has donated some original parts as well as a few nice upgraded parts that will make this whole project necessary.

Please don't forget that there are still a lot of bits and pieces left required to finish this little money raiser, so please check your tool/parts box and your scrap pile for any Mamod/MSS parts. Anything is welcome regardless of condition, be it warn out, rusty, butchered, broken, or just the wrong colour.
