Excellent 1970s Wilesco D16 Live Steam Engine - Tested Toys Gift Men Boys 1435

Description: LIVING ESTATE SALE (Details at the end of description) For your consideration is a Wilesco D16 made in Germany in the 1970s. This Live Steam Engine is in excellent condition.It is complete, except for the original box that is missing.It has been air tested (video) and should not give much trouble to operate on steam. A few things to report : - The base for the whistle was loose and had to be re-soldered (photo). - The spring belt between the main pulley and the governor needs to be attached better (photo). (this is not a difficult job, but it does require an eyesight and hand steadiness that I do not possess anymore). - The little condensation tray is not original (but it looks like the original one and does the job). You will need some solid fuel (anywhere camping supplies are sold) and distilled water is highly recommended. This model is still in production, with some modifications. Here is the link :https://www.wilesco-shop.de/en/stationary-steam-engines/d16-steam-engine.htmlThe current price for a new one is 327.80 Euros ($355). Sometimes, older gaskets have died up and leak a bit. Making new ones is not a difficult job but my hands aren't steady enough anymore for the precision work. I wish I could. Please select the shipping system that suits you best. Condition : This vintage engine is in excellent condition. It has been air tested (video) and should not give much trouble to operate on steam. It is complete except for the original box that is missing. Please read the description for complete details. I would rate it a solid C7. VERY IMPORTANT : I am offering four shipping options. You can check the cost by clicking next to shipping on "See Details" or make your choice at take-out. The default is usually UPS Ground as Expedited Shipping can be expensive and is not necessarily more reliable. Please keep in mind that I do not control the cost of shipping that is calculated by eBay.Free pick-up is always available (Rock Hill, SC). LESS IMPORTANT : Items are packed and ready for shipping when I make the listing. Combined shipping cannot be done if one item is larger than 8 x 8 x 8 packed. If it is possible, smaller items can be combined upon request prior to the payment. Guarantee : Item is guaranteed to be as described. I am a very honest seller hoping to deal with honest buyers. If I know something is wrong, I will disclose it but I certainly can make an honest mistake and will do my very best to correct it. Warning : Many of these older collectibles are not in compliance with today's safety standards. It is the responsibility of the buyer to determine whether or not they are still suitable for their intended purpose. Adult supervision is indispensable with any steam engine. Packaging :Items are packed carefully and should remain undamaged through a standard level of care during handling. LIVING ESTATE SALE DETAILS :I had my first steam engine when I was 9 years old. That was 65 years ago. I have been collecting them for 25 years and I am now 74. None of my descendants is interested in the collection, so I decided that it was time to liquidate. As of October 2024, I still have over 1,300 engines of all kinds to list. I believe in full disclosure. It takes me about an hour to list one item, between the assessment, the testing, the video, the photos, the description and the very careful packaging. I try to have very reasonable prices. At comparable quality, my prices are probably the lowest on the market.MS/AI
