Thanks for all the replies.
I am in Canada (Nova Scotia, to be exact) and yes, I’ve already started to grow the collection of steam toys. I purchased this larger Wilesco (it came with another identical unit in not so good shape to be used for parts). What’s left of its original box says it is a D12. I also bought these little metal men that have tiny saws. I assume they connect to the steam engine off the pulley. They are quite old.

My original little D5/D6 leaks water at the pressure valve when it’s running, so I guess that should be replaced. And the whistle is broken and the handle on it is rather melted. I’ll have to order new parts for that one. Not sure how the pressur3 valve could be adjusted to stop it from leaking. I’ve looked it over and can’t see where it comes apart.
