This is the fourth one, of the donated engines. It is a copy of the
very rare Mamod Minor 2, twin cylinder.
I haven't cleaned it. But, I have adjusted/ tweaked a few areas.
It was
not built, as any form of perfection!
Quote from the builder.......
The MM2 was copied from one I had at the time, She is a very very, close copy, apart from the cylinders are built up, and the burner is deliberately, not a copy.
It was an exercise to see what it would take to build a batch, and just never got round to it.
One cylinder has a slight blow/leak, as I made the frame a little thin.
The firebox and chimney are Mamod, from a scrap MM1. She dances on the table top just like an mm1.You could call it the first prototype, of a small production run. Which didn't happen!
After final tweaking. I filled with 60ml, hot water, and full meths tank.
Again. Listen to the soundtrack. The revs were higher than the video seems to show.......
