http://www.ministeam.com The Great Toy Steam Company LLCDiscovery Channel Mamod Steam Engines How Its Made The fact that the ME1 represented a complete engine unit, whilst the ME2 basically was the boiler and engine unit probably worked against their success. It could drive a good selection of tools simultaneously, using a lineshaft, and it also featured "exhaust to chimney". Here, the model has deep brown bodywork and cream wheels. Free shipping. Whilst using the same basic chassis and layout as the Roadster and Limo, it has a two-cylinder uni-directional engine, with external cylinders on each side of the chassis to provide more power. Free postage. The pre-war SE3 and SE4 were dropped along with the short-lived twin cylinder Minor 2. £5 : Mamod TE1a Long safety valve. £9 : Mamod TE1a Water level plug (Straight arm). DISCUSSIONS. This, in theory, allowed the locos to run slowly, and to 'self start'. Welcome to the Official Website for Mamod, the home of British Engineering. His engines were loosely based on the Bowman engines that Geoffrey Bowman Jenkins had made for Hobbies until 1935. Due to the financial situation, the tools, as separate items, disappeared from the range in the mid-1980s (along with the SP1, 3 and 5) but were together in the WS1 workshop introduced in 1979. The SP2 models are still in production; 36,878 had been produced by 1995. The MM1 engine became the first engine in the range to have a raised pressed base. The company now produces a wide range of mobile engines, stationary models and machine tools as well as gauge O and 1 railway locomotives. These engines with limited power and torque could drive at least 1 or 2 miniature tools. Also, the left-hand end of the crankshaft has the usual counterweight type of crank as on the SP5 Mk1, SE3 Twin and other engines, but the right-hand end of the new SP5 Mk2's crankshaft has a more efficient and far more attractive crank disc for better balance and smoother running. The first models produced were of stationary steam engines. The line shaft first appeared back in 1936 when Geoffrey Malins took on the task of making a set of engines for Hobbies of Dereham, after Geoffrey Bowman-Jenkins left Bowman models. The difference between Mamod and Hobbies became somewhat blurred; a Mamod badged SE4 could be found in the 'Hobbies colours'. It had the same type of boiler as the Minor 2 as well as the engine unit and frame. By 1958 all but the MM1 had received the new vaporising spirit burners, which had first appeared in 1957 with the introduction of the all new twin cylinder SE3. The earliest Roadsters were meths fired, appearing in late 1976. In that immediate post-war period there were many other manufacturers making steam toys, such as Plane Products, Cyldon, SEL, Luton Bowman and Burnac. Any differences between the two ranges had all but disappeared by 1940. Until 1948, the tools still used flat bases and cast iron bodies. I lubricated and jacked up the vehicle and ran it on compressed air. The ME2 was not particularly successful and was replaced by the ME3 in 1965. It was basically the same except for a solid fuel burner, sight glass, a whistle instead of the steam dome and plastic gears, instead of metal ones, on the crank shaft for driving Meccano models. Hi all I have obtained and done up some Mamod steam engines and I would like to fire them up but obviously dubious incase they blow up. http://www.mamod.co.uk/ 4.4 out of 5 stars (12) Total ratings 12, £213.00 New. This model represents a typical British light commercial vehicle of the interwar period. The range remained in this form until 1953 when, with the introduction of cheaper Mazak as a material, the brass flywheels were gradually replaced. Both types of line shaft carried the Meccano-type red pulleys as well as turned brass types. The engines were finished in polished brass, chromium plate and red and green paint, with a methylated spirit vapourising spirit lamp providing the heat source. The TE1/A has a green boiler (this green has varied over the years from apple green to a dark brunswick green, similar to GWR locomotives), red spoked wheels and flywheel, a white/cream coloured canopy and a black firebox/smokebox/chimney. 5 out of 5 stars (3) Total ratings 3, £13.50 New. We have a great online selection at the lowest prices with Fast & Free shipping on many items! The engine has a double reduced drive using a large intermediate pulley, similar to the flywheel. The engine frame for this model was mounted on a silver plinth, and the unit had a reverser which allowed the engine to run in either a reverse or forward direction. In 1967 the SR1 became the SR1a, with the introduction of a simple reversing mechanism on the engine unit. The company was unable to raise the money and so went into administration, though it was trading in the black within a few weeks, with the new railway sets selling well. This was the very beginnings of a philosophy which meant that the engines had to be sold and out the door.
