The Esbit gear is off to its new home. Sorry for the delayed update. Long week...
As you know. Dave, I'm very pleased with these engines; I thought, though, that I should make my pleasure and appreciation known to the membership at large.
Here's something amusing for you. You said that you had removed the whistle from the Mamod loco but were including it with the other things. When I received everything, I found no whistle, and thought that you had forgot to include it; I didn't worry, as I was sure I had another one around here somewhere. Well, yesterday I was crunching up some extra boxes to take to the dump for recycling, and guess what fell out of one onto the floor?
Guess I'm not as observant as once I was...

By the way, that was a real good idea you had re adding the Live Steam Locomotive board. I am glad you find it useful.
Thank you very much!
Gil

That KMV engine house is pretty neat. Any more information about it?
You can still buy them new and custom to your liking from Andreas ;)

First to respond, first-served. I'll post again when someone makes a claim.
Pics here (everything pictured is included):

Mamod SL3 locomotive:
Run extensively and has considerable scorching on the boiler. Missing firebox door handle (so exhaust leaks out). Runs 5-7 min on 2.5 tablets. I removed the whistle (included) and used a plug from another engine (not included).
Mamod MM2:
Some cosmetic issues. Runs great using a Mamod steam car burner (included).
Mamod MM1:
Cosmetic issues and a solder repair (not mine) on the steam pipe leading from the boiler that didn't leak when I ran it. No burner. I flattened the spirit burner holder tabs so that I could use the KMV burner (worked fine).
KMV engine house:
Previously owned by Oz Steam Demon. Paint doesn't hold up well to wiping down. No other issues. Fun to watch.
