General Discussion - Model & Toy Steam Engines – Stirling Cycle – Flame Lickers – Small Antique Originals / The little Willy - second version
« Last post by tenniV11 on May 26, 2026, 07:09:43 am »
Finally I could find the second version of "der kleine Willy" mini steam traction engine. These
have been sold by Holzapfel Company of Winterthur Switzerland ca. 1975 -  The second version has
a cast smoke box with faux rivets - very nice looking. Also the chimney is a bit higher and
there is only a simple burner tray - no  more a meths burner. The rear wheels have o-rings
and little bit an other shape. Some of these also made it over the pond as far as I know...
I guess the best picture is the one with the 2 little fellows on the crosshead guide of my
Ferdinand Gross Stuttgart (Germany) steam engine.

OKMO R02 Denny Improved Ericsson Stirling Engine with Modifications

I made a new wooden plinth for this engine, made a larger copper cooling water tank and redid the piping for the new tank.
Greatly extended the run time with the larger cooling tank.

You'll be able to take on the Strait of Hommus with that fleet!

These are about as expensive a vessel as I'd be willing to risk there right now!!!
