Oop's I did it again
« on: May 29, 2021, 11:11:47 am »
After finding that Mamod TE1A at the flea market two weeks ago
https://www.officeofsteamforum.com/general-discussion/todays-flea-market-find/

Today I stopped at an estate sale, and found this.

Another TE1A,  seems to be a bit older vintage, a bit worse in shape, but came with an incomplete wagon that is in very nice condition (minus the missing draw bar). 

I am not familiar with the various iterations of this model.  I see the canopy attaches differently, there is no site glass on the back of the boiler, etc. 

I may be passing this one on to another member here who said he was looking for one.  But I will be keeping the wagon as this is the first of these I have found.  (does anyone have a picture of the draw bar?)

I paid $70.00 for this one.

You're having a run of luck here and things come in three sometimes so another one may be around the corner  :)

Drawbar, sorry small photo, it is just a length of bent wire.

Thanks for the photo showing the draw bar.  Does anyone know if there should be a flat spring on the front axel of the wagon that is similar to the front axle of the tractor.  My wagon doesn't have one.
