Title: Re: Aussie Walt’s shelf by shelf show
Post by: Damnfmaschine on March 04, 2021, 04:25:15 am: Well I might get to assemble one or two Marklin Transformers from the 'Spares'
How about this shelf Nick? Maybe I could put some of the JC Unis on the spare shelf but that would mess up my filing system...

I am 99% sure that is not original Jim, but I think it looks really nice on there without the canopy 8)

Does dress it up Nick, the canopy is a bit of a PITA when filling it up, oiling andoperating it I can see now why a lot of folks take them off.

100% sure that is not original. Bought two some years back, black with brass trim, blue with brass trim.
They do look better.

Post by: Jim on February 22, 2021, 07:03:13 pm: Got this engine recently, the stack doesn't look Wilesco to me? Its built really well, quite ornate and heavy (unlike the ridiculous plastic parts on these Wilescos).

More mobiles,
P.S. You are welcome anytime @Jim but keep in mind that you might be kept in WA for eternity the way the border closures are these days, even Clive Palmer couldn’t defeat the laws on this.

Well at least I would have a lot of toys to play with :)

Walt would you happen to know if these Wilesco's were ever sold with a different smoke stack than yours below?

(Attachment Link)
I really can’t say Jim, maybe there was an earlier model with the conical front axle support with different chimney base.
Can we see a photo of yours or see why you ask?

Post by: Damnfmaschine on February 19, 2021, 01:44:08 am: Apologies if you’ve already seen my poor quality photos on another site/forum but it’s been suggested by a friend that I show these also on the other side of the Pacific pond.
Bear with me (Jim :-) whilst I practice posting photos, I’ll try and do one or two each day
