Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

This is my fourth new purchase from Mamod over a 10 year period and will likely be my last (I’ve said that before    )

First was the “New Mamod Train” now known as Mark I. That was my best purchase other than an o-ring in the wrong place…

Second was a tender for the loco. I wanted one with matching stickers, but they had already changed to a new sticker. I could have bought it from a US dealer and saved around $100 but Mamod told me they still had them with the old sticker… sure enough, it arrived with the new style and was told they really couldn’t do anything about it 

My forum anniversary engine arrived with chimney bouncing around in the box and poor soldering, that’s when I said I was done with them.

After watching many videos of how well the Centurions run, I finally placed an order… I added the gas burner to the shopping cart as it didn’t change the shipping cost. Not inexpensive is right… the two pieces and shipping came to £524.00, about $685   

After 4 emails and no replies I’m not too happy… I have been given another email address to try, we’ll see where that gets me…
