tenniV11 the genny looks good in your nice wooden box and I like the old oil lamp.

Nick, I really like the Centurion. Out of my 10 mobiles, its always the one that I want to run the most.

Cut it out so that it had a fold on one side, so it can be taken off and on easily.

Thanks Jim, zoomed in and now I can see it. These Mamod Centurions are really growing on me...

Cool Idea - and perfect look - much more realistic!
Some years ago I wanted to complete my Wilesco Roller
with a Dynamo and Lantern. I mounted a wooden Box to
the rear as per pictures....

If you want to duplicate the original scuttle, tmuir posted this drawing on the Mamod forum some time ago:

Looks great Jim  8)  but where did you come across an empty Zippo fuel can?  ;) :D

Glued? Screwed? Magnet?

They're bloody everywhere!!!!! Felt like a waste to chuck 'em.

DIY TE Coal Scuttle, certainly not as nifty looking as the commercial ones I've seen before.

Made it out of the bottom of a Zippo lighter fuel can, some gravel and sprayed black.
