Description: LIVING ESTATE SALE (Details at the end of description) MA/AI For your consideration is a Mamod Live Steam Wagon/Truck SW1 made in England in the 1980s. This item was still in production with very few changes in 50 years. Here is the link : 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 $530.Unfortunately, Mamod has closed doors as of August 2024, so a new one from the factory is no longer an option. Someone might still have a new one somewhere... This truck is in excellent and UNFIRED condition, as close to new as they come.It has been air tested (video) and will operate on steam.It is complete, except for the original box that is missing.It is all original except for the steering rod that was missing and replaced with a homemade one (it works). It is a bit dusty and a thorough cleaning would make it shine Besides the missing box and the steering rod replacement, there is only one thing to report. There is a small paint chip on the right rear of the bed, at the bottom (photos). No corrosion observed and no dent otherwise.Truly as close to new as they get and very gift-able. You will need some solid fuel pellets (anywhere camping supplies are sold) and distilled water is very strongly recommended. Please select the shipping system that suits you best. Condition : This Live Steam Truck / Wagon has never been fired. It is in excellent condition and as close to new as they come. It has been air tested (video) and will operate on steam. It is complete, except for the original box that is missing. It is all original, except for the steering rod that is a replacement. The truck needs a thorough cleaning to remove the 40 years old dust that found its way to it. There is a small paint chip on the right lower corner of the bed (photos). I would rate it a C8. 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.

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 December 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.
