The Wilesco  T125 is by far the best Wilesco steam engine made imho. A precision made & efficient turbine.

I agree Bruce.  Mine is still sealed in the box.  Nick encouraged me to buy it, but I am keeping it sealed for now.

That's a sweat looking engine, love the color scheme, like a D21.
Wish I would have grabbed one when they were still in production.

Agreed, and the gray base D-16 would be the engine I would recommend to anyone getting into the hobby

Best guess is that it will never run REALLY WELL, so perhaps it is best as shelf jewelry, something more of a museum piece.

The Hope Diamond is truly beautiful, but I understand it is no joy to actually wear, as a sort of long reach for an analogy I suppose.

I’ve steamed the traction engine and the Mini-Rocket once

Being gold plated I am careful with them, I’m sure it’s not too thick/strong of plating

I just watched his video, he tried to steam it but all I seen was a blue flame all
around the boiler. Then the video stopped. Darn it, would have liked to seen it go.
