Looking for a few missing engines to complete my set of the larger engines, if you have either (or both) send me a message please.

The D24's come up on Ebay pretty often & shouldn't be hard to find, the D28 while not being produced anymore is a bit harder to come across. I prefer to find a nice condition/well kept engine from a forum member if possible.

Good luck Bruce, I asked about a D24 a few months back, but nothing came up... I am a little fussy though and want a nice early one  :D

Have you ever had a D24 in the past? I sold mine on when I bought the D32 and really miss it...

I've never had a D24 Nick.  I'm on a Wilesco kick right now , unfortunately I have underestimated they're perfomance & have a renewed appreciation of them.

The D24 is very underestimated. I was really interested in the new limited edition D24, but don’t know if or when they’ll be available. Price isn’t terrible compared to other new models of that size...

I'm not sure it's worth $60.00 more dollars to have an "un-nickel" plated boiler & a gray base...😚
