Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Bruce, wow you did a sterling job on that D32 mate! I really enjoyed perusing your photos.

They are just an incredibly frustrating engine to work on, a true test of a mans patience.

When I've had mine apart once to fix multiple cracks in the boiler and once to convert it to gas fired I wondered
about the poor bugger at Wilesco that was in charge of warranties when they were still making these.....I hope he was on
good wages!

You did great with he colour matching and pinstriping and fixing that gaping hole and the new nickel plating is pretty slick!

Thanks Jim , I am SOooo glad to be done with this (it kicked my butt) and nearly ended up on the "to do" shelf a few times , you warned me about taking this on. I'll never do another one (famous last words) thanks for the support.
