1950's Live Steam Machine 'Wilesco' - Restoration

Wow excellent restoration just as well as it was done in company manufacturing steam engines. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

in a model we see renewable energy with no fossil fuel :)

Burnt the paint off the underside of the base around the hole whilst soldering the steam pipe.
All the work spoilt by a few seconds of clumsy soldering! 😡

I also had one!

That's a Wilesco D20. I got one at the age of 10. I still have it. The toy and model making store here in town still deals with them. Awesome stuff.

got a D 12 that looks like brand new.

die man eejmijn toch eel goed geolpen wu jonge motte so doen

Best video I have watched in years.

I had a simpler version of a steam engine as a boy in the later 60s. I'd make up some device from my Meccano set to link up to the engine with its' steam whistle.

My parent's gave one of these for Christmas in 1967. Lots of fun playing with it.

I got the same steam engine, over sixty plus years ago. Still have it, and in great shape. the rear valve is a whistle. It has an arm with a weight. I also have a tablesaw, a drillpress, and the line shaft.

What kind of fuel is that? Like"sugar"!?

This is a Wilesco D10, unless I am mistaken

I remember we hade one when I was a kid.. Wounder where it is today 🤔

I don't like working with metal of any kind, but i couldn't stop watching this clip. Awesome job!

I had this EXACT model when I was 9!

You know, when everything goes to shit in a few years, people like this will be the most valuable on the planet. Our ways of throwing out the barely malfunctioning in favor of the brand-newer model will be forever over, and those who restore and repair will become the new demi-gods.

That Balancee doesnt work properly. IT should break the engine down.

❤❤❤❤

Were i can buy something like that

That glass polishing before the rest of the disassembly was your side quest lmao

Super Restoration bro Good smart work ❤

I saw one of these in my class at ATC.

Man. That is so much work. Hats off to the dedication here

I think this is so cool

Hi Pete Anderson here. My grandparents gave me a very similar engine when I was, a young lad. For a 10th year birthday present. I was, thrilled with it until some rotten sod pinched it from me. My father😊, uncles and grand father all worked for NZ rail in there youth. I am now in 70 and would treasure another one so my good lady is looking on the net for one for me to enthuse over in my old age. Just a fabulous video. So we'll done and is now in my video library 😊. Cheers Pete and.Sheree Anderson Rotorua New Zealand

I had this as a kid. It didn't look half as nice as yours.

There ain’t no power like the power of steam!

Can you fix my grandpa's pc?

i had the very same steamengine in germany 1985 - and it was brand new mine was definetely not from the 50ies..

just saying....

Awesome

Actually amazing work ❤

I WANT ONE

WAS IST DAS FÜR EINE MASCHINE 😂

This entire thing just baffled me. It’s so complex and dangerous! You did a great job though!

Bravo! The Citizen Kane of miniature steam engine restorations! Your videos are getting me through a long cold winter! ❤

please is mine

My dad has one

А где Карлсон?

Just brilliant.Nothing else to add.

I have the same one but in almost perfect condition. I don't have the sleeve that you put the lighter fluid or whatever you use in to light it. I saw it run when I was about 4-5 yrs old. I do want to sell them. Just give me to end of month. I'd like to be able to get it running and show the Hell's Angels lol 5 young girls. Today I'm buying some playing cards to make their bikes sound like a 69 triumph Bonneville

Guys he didn't even check for lead and straight up sand blasted it and painted the toy that's a big oopsie on my end
