96RAF Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I found this handy guide for dismantling the live steam Mallard which also gives a greater understanding of how it all works.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulver Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 What a machine, eh? Would have loved to have one of these, just because.......I know they sometimes appear on eBay but I guess the rarity value really comes into its own here.thank you for posting this, and like Ken's postings (with your estimable assistance) makes for great readingRod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 They really are a great feat of model engineering Rod, but as you say becoming rare, especially spare parts, without which the model becomes an ornament, unless you are like gowest who can make his own.

Huwsie Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Heading back to Cyprus - I understand it's cold there? - perfect for live steam, the effects in the cold weather are far more visible. Will post pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huwsie Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I'm using that guide to completely dismantle the Mallard. It simply wouldn't run, so nothing to loose! - it's a really good guide though, I've found dozens of defects, blocked ports, loose parts... so hopefully it will run properly when it goes back together over the next few days.

Good luck with that Huw.If all else fails you can refer any snags to Ken (GoWest). Got to catch up with you some time.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
