My parents were too tight to buy me a Mamod...
My older brother, Prince Golden Bollox, had one, I didn't. Not that I mind.
My parents were too tight to buy me a Mamod...
Always wanted one, was way beyond the parents budget though.
Did have an Airfix plastic battery driven Beam Engine though and I loved building and running that.
Still got the tech drawings to make a replica model beam engine I collected in a series in Model Engineer, another project never started.
Luckily my main presents were bikes and looking back my parents set me on a lifelong passion.
Wish I still had my old Raleigh Rebel!
Somewhere though there is a Corgi SPV from the Captain Scarlet series,need to find that. View attachment 20973
I want one now!You could have had a go at him with one of these. I never knew anyone who had one but we all wanted them.

I am firmly in James May's corner on this one . Topys are not to be kept in boxes in pristine condition. they are meant to be played with
I've still got my old train set from the mid 60's complete with a metal Hornby Dublo L.M.R 2-8-0 8F Locomotive and Tender still in its box, loads of track, carriages and accessories.
