SLR. 807 403. Full member. Dec 02, 2019 #3. There is nothing on Mamod's website yet, but there is a short video on their Facebook page (of it on a turntable, not running). Doesn't really resemble a Quarry Hunslet other than it has a saddle tank and an open cab. That said, I think it looks very smart in it's black and red colour scheme.
