Striping down the Mamod

The front end of the Mamod has been dismantled to allow the fitment of the displacement lubricator and a new exhaust steam pipe which will exit steam via the chimney. The work to complete this will not happen until over the Christmas period as the parts are part of my present from the Mother in Law. Part of the pack includes new buffer beams and couplings. I am not sure if the buffer beams will fit but the couplings will still go on even if I have to use the original beams.

The Mamod with the front and rear buffer beams removed plus the gas tank.

The front footplate has been removed by drilling out the rivets, nuts and bolts will be used to refit it. The reversing block and the cylinders have also been removed.
