On the page there are 2 links to allow access to a download of an old Archangel brochure.

I would check the wheel profile. If they are MSS, for a period of time, they produced some that were very poor quality and are not correctly profiled. Therefore they may be out of gauge. If the flanges look particularly square then the wheels may be the culprits. It doesn't take much to make these e...

R/C control can make a real improvement to the Mamod loco 'driveability'. Merlin made an R/C conversion back in the day. You can get some more information and download the R/C instructions from here https://sites.google.com/view/peter-jones-loco-works/links-resources/aftermarket-parts/merlin-mamod-m...

The page includes links to Archangel Models Brochure (in 2 parts).

Well done for fixing the loco! The correct order for these parts under the steam dome is O-ring, washer then spring.

I wanted to share this where it might be seen by a few more members https://sites.google.com/view/peter-jones-loco-works I should add that it's a work in progress and is subject to regular updates at present. However, it's got some interesting content and worth a look if you like a bit of Mamod bash...

Very nice job that! Great to see another humble Mamod SL saved and running. Great work Happy New year and keep on steaming

On the last video posted showing the steam coming from the front of the cylinder, does it run when lifted off the rolling road? Were the wheels binding on the rolling road? Just wondering as I've experienced issues with the wheel gauge and profile of some MSS wheel sets. Obviously has nothing to do ...

That looks fantastic - nice job. Happy New Year!

I have the standard boiler with the higher pressure pressure safety valve and steam regulator kit from Dream Steam, I bought their pressure gauge and syphon at the same time thinking that it should be easy to fit. there is no take off on the regulator for the pressure valve, so I was thinking of pu...

Here is an example of a loco with an original IP Engineering Jane boiler (same design as Dream Steam type boiler):
This image shows the pressure gauge position as fitted using a syphon type arrangement from the top of the sight glass:
