"FOR SALE "Wilesco D28EL live steam engine (early 1970's)
« on: December 20, 2022, 05:50:06 am »
An early 1970's Wilesco D28 has for sale , I did some cleaning on the boiler , inside and out .the boiler was actually very clean inside , after a short white vinegar bath  , very little debris was captured (with a coffee filter) from the inside contents , must have been stored well. I received it from the nephew (he was 73 yrs old) who's uncle bought it all brand new. I replaced a few worn/cracked 0 rings in the throttle & drain valve & gave her a run. the heater is listed @ 600W but was actually putting out 770W.  it is in overall very good condition. These are often mistaken for the D24 which is smaller, the D28 has a larger boiler (4 holes in the base) and it has a 2 tiered platform that the engine sits on vs.. the D24 engine which  sits directly on the base plate. $600 + 30 (USA) shipping (its big)
PM me if interested.
