Hi Andrew, and welcome to Freesteam!
You've a good start to your collection there. The Mamod brown & brass model is not that common, partly because a certain person who you'll get to know has an appetite for repainting them as she doesn't like the brown wheels 
They are otherwise quite liked - it has to be the genuine one like yours, not someone who just strips the paint off the boiler of a standard TE1a.
As for Old faithful - what can I say but Wow!
So how exactly did you get the job as an apprentice on Old faithful?

Hi Andy it cool that you work on the roller to me it's very important than we get the younger generation involved with all types of steam. Roller pics would be most welcome be me as well when you can.
