For 50 bucks that would have come up with some love!

What a nice old school D28 that was.

This beauty only brought $180. I bid up to $170, but wasn’t ready to explain another 8 hour car ride for another engine 😂

I missed out on a D28 a couple weeks ago... only brought $50 as the online part of the auction sale went down

Fifty bucks!!!

It wasn’t pretty, but for $50 would have been fun to play with  :D

Wilesco D28 EL Steam Engine running on a DIY 'Juice Reducer' (Variac) as like all Wilesco electric fired boilers they put out a LOT of heat and its very handy to be able to turn down that voltage going to the heater.
