  6. Google Mamod, and up will come a website offering spare parts, including the steel drive belt you require.
    I bought drive belts and a new burner for a Mamod Steam lorry a couple of years ago.

    No I didn’t. Life got in the way, parts seemed expensive for the money I had at the time, I was still all a bit clueless and then dad died so it remains buried in the garage.

    But maybe I should do something about that.

    Had mine in steam this evening, learnt a valuable lesson, don’t operate the whistle with a finger as it causes an ouchie!
