The home of British Engineering. We have been manufacturing Mamod live steam models since 1936. Based in Birmingham, Mamod continues to produce a high quality steam engines as it did when it was first established by Geoffrey Malins, right here in the West Midlands. Although the Mamod range has expanded vastly since those early years, it still produces engines with all the passion and quality engineering that was first seen during those founding years of Mamod.
When the Mamod name was coined and launched in 1936 few people then would expect that this original and real Mamod model business would still be on the rails 74 years later.
But it is and looking towards a successful future despite some traumatic variations during its seven decades.
Buy-outs, takeovers, expansions, contractions, asset stripping and plans that did not always materialise were features of its up-and-down existence but at the same time it was still making a serious imprint on the specialised model market. These well-chronicled events are now part of its chequered history.
