My Brother in law Ralph took this photo on Labor Day weekend in September of 2007.Seen here on display at Thresherman's Park in Edgarton Wisconsin, is a display of Brittish live steam toys manufactured by a company known as Mamod. To the left is an operating steam threshing tractor, in the middle is a steam locomotive from their line of G Scale # 1 Guage trains, and to the right is a model of a stationary factory boiler.
During the early 1980's. I used to own a Mamod minor # 1 stationary steam engine. It operated on water and a white rectangular tablet known as "Dry Fuel". It had a flywheel and a safety valve, but wasn't equipped with a whistle. It wasn't very powerfull, but I had fun operating it as well.
