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

My newly acquired Wilesco  D24, that I converted into a dual fuel model with a 500W immersion rod heating element, this was used , but a very low usage plant given the high compression & the low residue in the fuel tray & on the boiler. it will run for nearly 2 hrs just ticking over @ low wattage. My Thanks to Randy T. for helping me to acquire it. I also briefly show a Wilesco D28 and a D32 in this video

as received,  Esbit all over the place





immersion sleeve installed & a couple of sheets of high heat insulation in place



all tucked away nicely




Completed & running

Very nice Bruce, looks and runs better than new - makes me think about keeping mine even though I don't have the space for it.

Sure is a nice engine...

Congrats on completing your "biggie" collection Bruce, well done!

Thanks Jan, I'm happy to have it.

I really enjoyed the video Bruce and the SPS Treatment makes it over the top cool.

Thanks and congratulations on completing the collection of the big Wilesco engines.

You certainly 'St Pauled' that D24e Bruce!

Looks great mate.

Super run.  I like to see the machine in a "braked" run.
