A very nice rebuild of a Mamod SE2 has just been finished by one of our members.

The only real issue was the whistle bush had seized to the whistle and come free from the boiler. But after a little heat the bush was free and re-soldered to the boiler, this was then followed by a good clean and re-paint were required.

The end result is a very smart little engine.

Our society member Tim over the winter has been busy. Having driven Seaton tram14 last year, they have made a start on the body of tram 14 to fit their Hercules chassis.

Will be nice to see something a little different down the track, hopefully by the summer.

Further progress updates to follow.

Society Member Bernie has launched a crowdfunding project for Portsmouth Model Engineering Society.
Our goal is to raise £47,980 to replace the worn-out track at Bransbury Park Trains, ensuring it can continue to be enjoyed safely for years to come.

It would be great help if you could share this link with anyone else who you think may be interested in supporting the project, as spreading the word will help us reach our target.
Thank you very much for your support.
