Thanks Jim.
I had a lot of trouble posting the pics however. First they were there, then not, then small etc. I kept trying to
Use the modify feature, but never got it right. What's the best way to post multiple full size pics?

Nick, you don't have one?? Fodens are fabulous. I think mine was unfired when I got it off eBay. Really good deal if I remember. I fired it but ironically didn't drive it yet.

Nope, I came to the point where I had too many Mamods and told myself "no more", but Paul is not making this an easy rule to follow  :D

Oh, I agree that it's a fun engine, just that my shelves are beyond full and these take up a lot of space  :D

I have a very nice blue one, but the green ones are indeed special.

Thanks guys for all your replies. I enjoyed the video too. I bought a blue SW1 in December and
fired it but I didn't get it run as well as yours did in your video.
