Henner,
Great work! Great photos! I like the gearing. May I ask what the total gear ratio is? A what are the bore and stroke of the cylindars?
Thank you.

Hi,
last Sunday I found my old Mamod covered in dust and I decided to reactivate it. My son bought it as a kit 15years ago in London and we added a lubricator and an alcohol burner from Mike Chaney. Somehow it even made it over the big pond. When I tried to look up the pinout of the servo to convert the R/C to US standard, the only hit in Google was an Ebay offer "ancient servo"(Am I getting old ?)... Anyway, after cleaning and making some new gaskets the beast ran like new, even climbing the 8% grade of my logging line ! It will eventually get a scratchbuilt ceramic burner.
Now to something completely different: My friend David made a couple of photos of my finished C_l_i_m_a_x and posted them on his WEB site (Thanks David!):

(It takes some time to download all the pictures, if you have a dial-up connection). I will eventually add CAD drawings of some of the parts like engine, boiler and some fittings. And by the way, there are some more goodies on David's site.
Regards
Henner
