I read somewhere (old "Live Steam" maybe) that everyone eventually ends up
with a plagued Mamod at some point, and ends up loving it for some reason or
another. I don't necessarily agree, but found it an interesting comment all the
same.

Vance,
Peter Jones' "Kissing Frogs" Mamod articles are a good introduction to what
is possible and what is recommended in the way of engineering for small,
simple locos. His instructions on how to use a punch to make a hole smaller
later saved me from using a lot of bad language when an
understand they are fired by some kind of
pellets? Clark says his is a" pot boiling Mamod with a alcohol burner. So,
what is one of the Mamod engines worth in $$ and would it be worth having as
anything more than a conversation piece. They look a little puny to me.

Well Salty I'm going to answer your question by showing you how to fish
and by this example actually feed you fish.
Actually I have a catalog with the prices for Mamod steam products as
well as other steam engines. What I was asking

Salty,
I guess I'm lucky I bought my first Mamod before Al Gore invented the
Internet.
I would have probably been talked out of it and missed out on a lot of fun.
I now own three of the wiggly little darlins in various state of running
disrepair.
Jim Crabb has given you some good advice. Get
Peter Jones did a long series of articles in SitG several years back entitled
"Kissing Frogs", on the subject of taking stock Mamods and making them
good runners. He gave instructions on clearing up all of their know weak
spots. You can look them all up in the SitG index, then see if back

Does it make sense to set up a series of "rooms" on a
server, one for Ruby, one for Mamods etc. Where
individual improvements can be archived? Point being
a new owner or potential owner could then access the
site and "learn." This would reduce repeating
requests while providing a library
