VERY nice

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.

Nice additions Jan.

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

Sometimes you just have to stray off course!
Very nice strayin' Jan!

That's not straying Jan ..... that's diversifying!!! ;c)
Congrats on a couple of nice scores.

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.
