Question. I have an old mamod that needs painting, what paint should i buy to paint the steam engine?
Answer. There are many paints and colours you could consider. I suggest the paint you use is highly resistant to heat. If you are looking to paint the area around the boiler, I suggest you paint it with high heat resistant black paint. This paint is also used to paint exhaust pipes on cars and motor bikes which is something that can be considered and found at Halfords and similar car accessories shops.

Question. Is it possible to add a RF radio frequency radio control system, servo and levers to control the steering of the model? And where would the batteries go?

Answer. Yes you can make our steam engine run with a radio control system. All you got to do is buy a cheap toy model car, something around 20 to 30 British pounds and take the mechanisms out and install on your steam engine. This will reduce the cost significantly and you will have a bespoke model, which you can control and be better than your mate's!!!
