"Boys Toy" by Jonathon Pocock.

The Birth Of A Legend.

Although this is not a
"Mamod" steam roller
I feel it should be listed here.
The Mastrand steam roller was the
Inspiration for the Mamod Steam Roller.

Although Eric Malins is said to have been very Unimpressed with this little steam roller
It is In fact a very well made and iconic
Toy steam engine and a part of Mamod's history.

Mastrand Steam Roller.

When Eric Malins was browsing Through the Gamages of London
Toy catalogue in the late 1950's
He came across an advert
For the Mastrand steam roller
And immediately ordered one
This was then used as a model for the
Mamod steam roller.
