St. Paul Steams table. "Wide world of Wilesco"
« on: February 26, 2021, 07:42:13 am »
Introduction


Hi fellow steam enthusiast's
Since I seem to be immersed in Wilesco's right now , I thought I would represent a few of they're offerings. I'll start at the low end of the #'s. Since I was under time constraints, most of these videos are not new.

Love the D2, they´re lovely little engines...

That steam-stick was certainly one of the more "classy" builds seen from SPS, and a great starter entry for your table here  :)
Cheers

Ah, here you are now Bruce.

Very nice start to what I'm sure will be a fully amazing table.

This first engine definitely shows you to be a distinguished Gentleman of the "First Steam", with immaculate mechanical taste, cultivation and a skill set to be envied by all !!!

Geezo Bruce ..... you're getting way out ahead of me here .... I can't keep up with watching all your material and posting on it too!

I really do think that little D3 would take right off the table at max wattage, if you were to mount a prop on its shaft!!!  ;c)

Very nice Bruce. Great showing of Wilesco! I especially like the pump jack. I did get a little twinge you showed the unfired condition of the D141. I just fired mine for the first time this afternoon.

The World of Wilesco.....BUT.....new and IMPROVED!

Some great enhancements to all of these Bruce.

But, the Steam Cane is just awesome.  It definitely will go with your Steam Punk outfit.
