Mamod Steam Engine Tractor Wagon SW1 Green

Mamod Mamod Steam Engine Tractor Wagon SW1 Green. The Mamod steam wagon harks back to a bygone age when horse drawn vehicles were being replaced by steam driven vehicles in the early 1900's. Based on the very popular Foden steam truck of the period, Mamod has created a robust and realistic working model.

Finished in green, the model is supplied with a steering rod and handle. The SW1 steam Wagon is another variation of the SR/TE engines in the range and was first produced in 1972. The model is largely attributed to Steve Malins, grandson of the founder of Malins Engineers. Apparently Steve took his inspiration from a book entitled'The overtype steam road waggon' Published in 1971 and written by Maurice A. The SW1 basically uses a mixture of components from the SR1a roller and TE1a traction engines to which is attached a lorry-style rear body with a cab and payload bed.

The extra length of body is supported on a C section girder'chassis'. The engine has a double reduced drive using a large intermediate pulley, similar to the flywheel. This gives a more realistic speed as well as affording the model more pulling power. A live rear axle (only one wheel is driven) has distinctive diamond-spoked wheels closely based on a Foden design. The wagon is sometimes referred to as the'Foden Wagon'.

The model has red wheels and a green body, with a white quarter-length canopy over the engine and boiler. This is a used item. There are signs of use, typical discoloring of the chrome, some small paint spots. It appears to have all of the parts.

There is no fuel or steam oil. The box is in pretty rough shape. Pictures are part of the description CONDITIONS OF SALE Please be assured that I only sell items that I would personally wear myself.
