This is my 1961 Mamod SR1 The SR1 steam roller first went into production in January
1961. At the rear of the engine you will notice that the very first engines had no
tow hook, this was because the brass vaporising burner was riveted to the scuttle
front plate. Also the cranks were brassed and connected to a thinner crankshaft
and had the word Mamod on them.
This Mamod steam roller was much bigger than the Mastrand it took its inspiration
from and featured polished aluminium roller and wheels, along with bright green and
red paint. This hardy steam toy was a quick little mover and surprised everyone with
the speed it could travel (as they still do to this day)
