1980s Mamod Live Steam Wagon Truck SW1 - Gift Boys Men

Description: LIVING ESTATE SALE (Details at the end of description) For your consideration is a Mamod Live Steam Wagon/Truck SW1 made in England in the 1980s. The truck has been air tested (video) and should not give much trouble to operate on steam.The original box is missing and there are quite a few nicks here and there (photos). It is complete and all original (except for the box). Please take a look at the detailed photos as I am showing some of the more serious "nicks". These paint chips are coming from manipulation rather than corrosion. This is mostly cosmetic.One of the spring belts (left rear one) is a bit distended and I do not have the parts on hand to replace it. It still works ; it's just not as tight as it should be. This item was production with very few changes for 50 years. Mamod ceased operations at the end of August 2024.Here is the link (that I was told was not operational any longer) : https://www.mamod.co.uk/shop-categories/1318-blue-steam-wagonAt the price of £422 and with the current rate of change, the price was around $545. You will need some solid fuel pellets (anywhere camping supplies are sold) and distilled water is strongly recommended. Please note that, if an item has been air tested, it might need a bit of work to operate on steam. Often the older gaskets have dried up and leak a bit. Making new gaskets is easy but my old hands aren't steady enough any longer. I wish I could... Please select the shipping system that suits you best. Condition : This Live Steam Truck is in good but not perfect condition. It has been air tested (video) and should not give too much trouble to operate on steam. It has been fired. It is mechanically sound but has quite a few small nicks all around. Nothing serious and it is coming from being played with rather than corrosion. Also one of the spring belts is a bit distended.It is complete and all original except for the original box that is missing.I would rate it a C5/C6. VERY IMPORTANT : I am offering four shipping options. You can check the cost by clicking next to shipping on "See Details" or make your choice at take-out. The default is usually UPS Ground as Expedited Shipping can be expensive and is not necessarily more reliable. Please keep in mind that I do not control the cost of shipping that is calculated by eBay.Free pick-up is always available (Rock Hill, SC). LESS IMPORTANT : Items are packed and ready for shipping when I make the listing. Combined shipping cannot be done if one item is larger than 8 x 8 x 8 packed. If it is possible, smaller items can be combined upon request prior to the payment. Guarantee : Item is guaranteed to be as described. I am a very honest seller hoping to deal with honest buyers. If I know something is wrong, I will disclose it but I certainly can make an honest mistake and will do my very best to correct it. Warning : Many of these older collectibles are not in compliance with today's safety standards. It is the responsibility of the buyer to determine whether or not they are still suitable for their intended purpose. Adult supervision is indispensable with any steam engine. Packaging :Items are packed carefully and should remain undamaged through a standard level of care during handling. LIVING ESTATE SALE DETAILS :I had my first steam engine when I was 9 years old. That was 65 years ago. I have been collecting them for 25 years and I am now 74. None of my descendants is interested in the collection, so I decided that it was time to liquidate. As of October 2024, I still have over 1,300 engines of all kinds to list. I believe in full disclosure. It takes me about an hour to list one item, between the assessment, the testing, the video, the photos, the description and the very careful packaging. I try to have very reasonable prices. At comparable quality, my prices are probably the lowest on the market.SO/AI
