That was pulling some serious weight, bud.

Re: Mamod loco with 13 cars
The cars are tin plate Marks , they aren't real heavy but when ya get a string of them they pull a little in the corners.
I`m going to hook the Bowman to them but may have to put some wheel weights in the coal cars to slow it down.

Re: Mamod loco with 13 cars
Pitchy, I just love seeing a nice head of steam like that. Your layout is really sweet. Does the little Mamod run on butane?

Amazing how much power a little steam can produce. Great video Lenn.....

Yepper, the boiler is only about two inches by four, it has some super heater tubes under it which helps a bunch.gamekeeper wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2017 5:51 pm Amazing how much power a little steam can produce. Great video Lenn.....
Run time is pretty short though.

Vids? What vids? Those were reprints of home 16mm films from my Uncle.
Hell, an extended relative/army buddy of mine and I worked really hard to do a presentable version of The Mamushka https://youtu.be/Mw0IakmQri0 for a Post "talent night".

Re: Mamod loco with 13 cars
People would pay to see something like that around here.....that's for real. I'm thinking a longer track with a tunnel, a viaduct, a steep grade with some switchbacks ....maybe a little man with a gun.....or like the Mexicans.....riding on top on the cars with guns and cannons. Have an ambush alley running a gauntlet with good guys shooting drug dealers.....then the train has a set of tracks going alongside of a little creek shooting wetbacks crossing the creek ......and then a few feet underground ...like a subway, where thugs try to stop the train to rob it and out pops a good guy ...dressed like Sylvester Stallone....with a miniature M-60 and a hand grenade.......you could make a fortune...you got the space.....add a hundred or two feet of track all riding through different scenarios....-----6

Re: Mamod loco with 13 cars
Great run there Lenn. I wish the pain in my legs would ease up enough for me to do some project. I managed to get some mowing done yesterday along with some help from my 15 year old. Don't know what I'd do without him. Going to a Grandson 's wedding this afternoon over on the lake. Would it be proper to take my rod along?

Re: Mamod loco with 13 cars
Very cool. Pitchy, I always enjoy seeing the things you make and post. I like seeing steam locomotives. That track is better than just a plain oval.

Re: Mamod loco with 13 cars
Pitchy, that Bauman has some power. Really nice steam plume, too. Bet it really shows when it's nippy.
Re: Mamod loco with 13 cars
Bill the red one is tame compared to the green loco, here`s a vid from this morning it`s right on the edge of flying off the track as it heated up she kept gaining speed.Bill in Oregon wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2017 7:49 am Pitchy, that Bauman has some power.

After this vid I had to add seven wheel weights to the coal cars to slow her down.
