Mamod, Wilesco, MSS and Hornby Live Steam

Thought some of you might be interested in my Live Steam collection of models - all work using either Methylated Spirit or Gas in the case of the Stephenson Rocket to heat water to make steam.
Had and used some of these as a boy but these are all new mint ones in the photos.
Blew up my S Rocket age 11 when the Gas cylinder leaked (a common problem).
The Wilesco is probably the most detailed and the Mamods are built on the same sub-frame typically.
MSS is very nicely made and the Showmans Engine and Rolls Royce both limited editions. Stephensons rocket is the fastest and goes around a track- great fun.


Have a look also at the Pocher F2 in the bottom photo and the associated link to its page - think you will like the amazing engine detail in this one!
