All this reminds me: I have  D375 nut-and-bolt roller in pieces in a box somewhere awaiting restoration. Better get at it someday....

One of Wilesco's best engines IMHO, the D365 will always be special since that model was my very first toy steam engine.

I will add is that Bruce's example has the metal handles which is a nice bonus, good luck with the sale!

I don't think you need to "steal" that Nick, as the reference is nearly universal in application, thus not really able to be copyright protected.

It is certain that my brother and I truly qualified for this descriptor, way back in the long ago!

thanks Rog and Daniel, the D455 & the traction engines are among the best values that Wilesco offers imho, I have three of these old smokeys... so I don't really need this one. I'm afraid if this doesn't sell , it will go to the Mayhem machines which are my two grandsons 👬 😑

I know two boys who fit that title very well  :D  (M&M happen to be their initials, might have to steal that nickname for them)  :D

Like Daniel, I have one already or I would jump on that great price.  I am NOT a fan of Wilesco engines, but I have owned two for many years and Old Smokey is one of them...just a whole lot of enjoyment in a low cost traction engine.

Help Bruce clean house by buying this one!!

Certainly a very good price for a great condition Old Smokey .... if I didn't have one, I'd definitely be having this one!

Good luck with your sale Bruce.

Post by: St Paul Steam on May 19, 2019, 09:52:09 pm

here we have a pretty good condition older....Wileso Old Smokey, has original box in good condition, this traction roller has no dents, very little paint loss or discoloration & runs well, has a little corrosion around a couple of sight window bolts, I have cleaned the boiler & gave it a clean bill of health.
$132.00 + $18.00 shipping anywhere in US   there are none less expensive on E-bay when last I checked, & this is in better condition than many used ones listed for more.
