Thank you Clinton 👍

Thank you. Yes very sad that Mamod had to close down after production for 87 years.

@@modelsteam2805 I hope that some people will can go again with production, but it is only a dream!

A dream come true hopefully

@@modelsteam2805 Yes my friend!

Thank you. I would like to add a third track to run another loco.

Thank you Sir !

Thank you for your compliment 😀

It was a great show hope you enjoyed it 🙂

Thank you Juergen. The loco is still running in, seems to get better with each run.

Thank you Stew. It was an enjoyable build, really pleased how well it turned out.

Thank you. Love all the Regner EasyLine such quirky little locos & so well made too. Long May they continue to bring out new models. Just a shame the Guinness didn’t last.

Thank you ! This engine started off as one of the early D409 showman’s engines. I still have to fabricate a longer canopy to accommodate the extra length of the new tender. They do run extremely well once run in & all the motion has loosened up.

@@modelsteam2805 - Mine is certainly a smooth runner! I could never get my canopy lights to work and now I hear the guys in the EU are hooking up thirty LED's, but they won't sell to the US, so I guess I'll have to figure it out myself.

There is no sight glass, only a water level plug used for filling the boiler to the correct level. The original spirit burner, if filled correctly & not overfilled, is designed to run out of fuel before the boiler runs out of water. However, this model has been upgraded to a gas burner, so a watchful eye is needed.

Thank you ! 😆

Many thanks for your kind comment 😀

Thank you ! 😊

Thanks for your comment. The engine is made by a company called Cotswold Heritage. Sadly, no longer in production.

Thank you for your kind words. I assembled the model from a kit & documented the build on the UMAOSF if you are interested: www.tapatalk.com/groups/modelsteam/building-the-regner-guinness-tram-t121139.html

Thank you for your kind comments Graham. Hoping to pick up a few visitor wagons at the Midlands Garden Rail Exhibition Tomorrow. Great little loco, such a shame Regner have discontinued the model.

Thank you for your comment. I built the engine from a kit & it always gives great pleasure when I steam it.

Many thanks for your comment 👍

Thanks for your comment. No there isn’t a differential, it’s just a longer solid axle than the stock Wilesco one, to allow the extra thickness of the Mamod wheel hubs.

@@modelsteam2805 It appeared as though the drive wheels were turning at different speeds.

Thank you ! 😉

Hello Rob & thank you 👍

Very clever, I like it. Much better throttle control. Couldn't see the whistle control, not that I'd miss it.

Thank you for your comment. The whistle is non functioning.

Glad to see a fellow conasour of fine entertainment!😊 Owsum little engin . What is the base made out of ?

Thank you for your comment. Certainly a credit to its former keepers & has been well looked after over the years.

Base is made from wood.

Thank you for your comment. Certainly a favourite engine of mine & quite remarkable how it has survived in excess of 100 years.

Thanks for your comment 👍 Building the engine was a learning curve for me as it was my first attempt as silver soldering. If your interested in the build thread, it can be found here: www.tapatalk.com/groups/modelsteam/opitec-steam-engine-build-t111599.html

Thanks for your comment. No, I don’t add any steam oil to the boiler, only to the piston rod & valve rod. I have an earlier model #14 with the lead weighted safety valve: czcams.com/video/vhTQg12L1eE/video.htmlsi=u7o_91Pa5Hz7wEjr

I have watched that video also. Both are very nice engines. I have one which I think is a little later model which needs the sight glass replaced. Once repaired I hope it will run as well as yours. Thanks for posting.@@modelsteam2805

Yes the later models came with a sight glass tube, first with embossed rivets & then the last type, without. Spares can be obtained from Weedensteam.com

Thank you, I plan to order the sight glass from Weeden Steam after the first of the year.@@modelsteam2805

Thanks for your comment. You should get one they are great models to run on live steam & make a handsome showpiece as a static engine. Just be sure to replace the ageing plastic gas tank with a modern metal one, as the plastic degrades & you could end up with a fireball.

@@modelsteam2805 Duely Noted! Thanks!

You’re very welcome my friend & good luck.

Thanks for your comment 👍

Hello, thank you for your comment. I believe Sussex Steam went out of business a few years ago when the owner fell I’ll. i purchased this engine as a kit on eBay, they do pop up from time to time.

Ok
