Strayin´
« on: March 16, 2020, 02:19:32 pm »
Not really collecting "ze germans", but when there´s a chance for affordable semi-rare models, it´s hard (for me) to pass them up  ::)

Within the last couple of weeks, i´ve encountered 2 of these cases.
First a tiny Fleischmann 105, and yesterday a perhaps even more than semi-rare Wilesco D49 marine engine.
Both in need of a proper cleaning, and missing a couple of parts, but otherwise in acceptable condition.

I have to say that's the straightest straying I ever saw. (Three times fast).

Thanks for the moral support guys  :D

Besides the obvious clean/polish needed, there´s a couple of minor issues in need of attention.

The Fleischmann 105 needs a burner, which as i recall it is a pretty simple open "tinbox" with a handle, to hold a solid fuel tablet.
Would love if one of you could share a picture of one?
I assume that the bigger Fleishmann 105/1 have a similar looking burner, so a picture of one of those would do just as nicely.
(I am not going to aim for a perfect replica, just build something resembling the original.)

The Wilesco D49 needs a spark arrestor for the chimney, but keeping my fingers crossed that a replacement chimney for a D305 "Fire Engine", will fit right on there as is.
