• here we have a pretty good condition older....Wileso Old Smokey, has original box in good condition, this traction roller has no dents, very little paint loss or discoloration & runs well, has a little corrosion around a couple of sight window bolts, I have cleaned the boiler & gave it a clean bill of health.
  $132.00 + $18.00 shipping anywhere in US   there are none less expensive on E-bay when last I checked, & this is in better condition than many used ones listed for more.

• Certainly a very good price for a great condition Old Smokey .... if I didn't have one, I'd definitely be having this one!
  
  Good luck with your sale Bruce.

• Like Daniel, I have one already or I would jump on that great price.  I am NOT a fan of Wilesco engines, but I have owned two for many years and Old Smokey is one of them...just a whole lot of enjoyment in a low cost traction engine.
  
  Help Bruce clean house by buying this one!!

• thanks Rog and Daniel, the D455 & the traction engines are among the best values that Wilesco offers imho, I have three of these old smokeys... so I don't really need this one. I'm afraid if this doesn't sell , it will go to the Mayhem machines which are my two grandsons 👬 😑

  I know two boys who fit that title very well    (M&M happen to be their initials, might have to steal that nickname for them)

• I don't think you need to "steal" that Nick, as the reference is nearly universal in application, thus not really able to be copyright protected.
  
  It is certain that my brother and I truly qualified for this descriptor, way back in the long ago!

• One of Wilesco's best engines IMHO, the D365 will always be special since that model was my very first toy steam engine.
  
  I will add is that Bruce's example has the metal handles which is a nice bonus, good luck with the sale!

• All this reminds me: I have  D375 nut-and-bolt roller in pieces in a box somewhere awaiting restoration. Better get at it someday....
