Random Engine Parts up for Grabs (Weeden / Unknowns)
« on: August 22, 2022, 04:45:17 pm »
Hi guys -

I have some engine parts coming in where I only wanted the one Empire B30 (well its a Quality brand) but the win is coming with 4 engines.  Even the B30 is up for grabs once I get the bits I want off it, I'll post an update on that when I get what I need (but it will be the bottom plates, the whole Whistle, Smoke stack, and the front screw).  I also have a  B-31 coming

I also have some Weeden parts in my possession that I had offered to another member but don't think he needs any of it.  I am not looking to make a $$$ on these engines/parts other than recoup shipping and a little juice to get them shipped.


I am very interested in Empire B30 / B35 / No. 90 parts.  Mainly whistle toppers now days but I really won't know until I get all my eBay "part" engines in.  Also a proper Empire badge for a B30 (I don't want to use the Quality Band badge).


Like I said, not looking to really sell even though it cost me a bit to get these engines but I needed parts!  So many members have helped me and generally for free, so I feel the need to pay it forward.  So I hope something in my photos ends up being helpful.

For the record, those two vertical engines I have no idea what they are, they could be worth some cash as far as I know.  What I do know there were a few bidders on the eBay sale and I likely (well for sure) paid to much for what I really wanted - which was to rape the Quality B30 engine for my Empire.  Anyways, feel free to give more juice, if you happen to know more than me LOL!

That last engine on the right looks like it could be a Wilesco but I know others have a similar look too.

Christmas in July...

  Rich, if you please, I would like to have the two Weeden engine/boiler
setups in the second photo as projects.  They would go well with my other
Weeden engines.  Besides, we all like to get a package in the mail with
old engines in them...in any condition!

Thanks for the fun,
Wayne

Weeden's in photo #2 shipped off to Wayne in NY!  I also removed the Weeden parts from Photo #3 and they are in the box too :-)

Results...





Two engines that gave me a few fits
but I had the parts and whipped both
into shape. Ended up being a lot of fun.

Plus other stuff left over.

Thankful for friends,
Wayne

that is great to see Wayne, seems you had some fun!  I figured they would be good for parts and there you go getting them running!
