[Before and After] Two Mamod TE1a Engine Restorations

I will admit that these two TE1a live traction engines have been the most difficult restorations I have done for a Mamod engine. I have learnt a lesson. When looking to restore something, look for an engine that can steam up. If you find a engine in 'spares' condition, as well as cleaning it up, you will also have to repair it which will take up a lot of time and money.

Two Mamod TE1a Traction Engines and a Wagon

Here is my next project everyone and I can already see it to be my toughest yet. I managed to buy two traction engines and a wagon for just £45 which is a bargain! That's around £20 for each engine and £5 for the wagon. However, upon seeing the engines, it looks like there is a lot more damage which can mean replacing parts which will cost quite a lot. This is my second and third TE1a traction engine I've had with the first being in at the top of the website.
