I see now that a company is offering the distinctive SW1 rear wheel pattern as a front wheel. Anyone tried them>


Yep - got a pair from Chas. The casting wasn't perfect and maybe I should have returned them, but they look good and I'm not a 'nit-picker'! Unfortunately I've no photo available at the moment - I'll sort one out soon.


Just wondering, they have always been a very good looking design, it give the SW1 it very distinctive look! Can you take a snap or two when you get the chance?

Everyone should have one of these. The MEC1 1965-76 is one of the most useful and most plentiful of engines. This well used and love example dates from 1970-76

These are a delight, routinely put down by some - they are a treat to watch and ooze detail and charm! here's my 1990 D405 traktor...

I love Meccano and what better companion for the Mamod engine?



I love the concept of light, small and easily adjusted workshops...

My two Wilesco stationaries - a D14 and D455. Two great engines, fast smooth and endless fun. Powerful too!
