Wilesco D365 Old Smoky first run in years

[@ziplocBagofRobloxia]

weathered naturally quite nicely, i would totally leave it that way, looks quite realistic.

[@nightlightabcd]

beyond realistic! The first thing he should have done was to clean it up!!

[@pjneslo8979]

Thats a good old Iron 👍

[@richardschindler8822]

Very nice. Now I must buy one.

[@70053morayfirth]

Runs nicely - I have a showman's engine which is also nicely detailed.

[@bill_]

The intro music is stunning. (Thinking of you freesciencelessons man)

[@bennetenglisch1467]

Where did you get that liquid fuel burner thats fantastic

[@MrThistleFlower]

Fantastic. I still have mine from when I was a kid. I’m afraid to fire it up.

[@nightlightabcd]

You can also run them on compressed air!

[@propersteamer2948]

Where did you get the burner tray from please?

[@toastedsmith]

looks like you got a real winner there. the old dirt makes it look like a good ol farm tool aswell

[@nightlightabcd]

Good engine, good camera work to!

[@AlienMonkeyDXB]

Hello. Nice video. I just bought one of these. I like that burner. Where can I get one? Thank you.

[@georgeshelton6281]

I sometimes do, begin to wonder just how long has this Wilesco steam engine roller has been kept under preservation? That's if if was never used.

[@leofochler7083]

Where did you get the container for the liquid fuel?

[@thestandardfour0699]

I believe you can get them off a site called 'Forest classics' but I think they are discontinued

[@johncrump248]

For i have 1 of these But the 1 i have i bought out of an Catalog & i have run it a few time's & it uses Esbit Fuel to power it as to this 1 the fuel tray is an hand made 1 that uses some kind of fuel But it still run's for as well built that Wilesco's Steam Engine's are.

[@Strikersen]

[@dankwartdenkhardt5714]

Ja, der eiserne Gustav...

[@lucamarmiroli4563]

What a patina!!!!

[@puropadre]

I realize this is an old video, but if you happen to to see this, can you tell me where you got the heating element? I have the same model on order from eBay and would be interested in getting a heater like the one you used in the video. Thanks!

[@puropadre]

Never mind. I should have read the comments first. Forest Classic.

[@W.Afton154]

Is your liquid fuel just alcohol

[@Philstec]

Where did you get that oil fuel from?

[@mattseymour8637]

Lovely engine. I have a Wilesco roller but the seal on the back of the boiler where the glass is has gone and took it off and wonder how I solder it back on or does it push in the hole in the boiler?

[@PortCharmers]

I have repaired this sort of situation for a fiend of a friend. I took the whole boiler out of the casing and then soldered it back together using a blow torch. Unfortunately, I haven't heard if they are actually running it and ow it holds up. If all else fails, Wilesco are also selling sprare parts.

[@andrewjones6291]

love it

[@supergaming640]

I got one and it is puffing some steam up now

[@dolby409]

I have a black and silver model, but the rear wheels are bent... any idea how to fix???

[@jonashellsborn7648]

Wheels bent or rear axle bent? The factory is still there, you can surely mail them. And they even have a YT channel, with a tiny amount of subscribers! If you can take wheels and axle apart, I would carefully bend/knock the axle straight on a vice. Rivets can be replaced with new ones, just drill them away.

[@federox86]

Hi, what u use for doing fire?

[@AceEngineeringWorks]

I use industrial methylated spirit.

[@woobyvr9654]

And I thought my one was dirty

[@charliewitcher3270]

I am gowing to make a vid on 30/3/17

[@tychokuipers7516]

It’s I a wilesco d40

[@Rainmanxxl1967]

I don´t know why the WILESCO D365 is their best engine when it comes to smooth and extremely slow idling. Does you or someone els know why ´cos my engine is capable to do it too

[@brozems7081]

can i runn this d365 on these blocks that you burn or not?

[@woobyvr9654]

Anything should run with it

[@DoncasterA1Music]

GEORGE!! (Thomas and friends)

[@therestorationofdrwho1865]

Won't running it on that ground damage the wheels?

[@AceEngineeringWorks]

Unfortunately yes the wheels will get marked. Its either leave it on a shelf or play, I know what I'd rather do.

[@AceEngineeringWorks]

You could, or just put a couple of rubber bands around the wheels. The finish on the rims is not a perfect machined finish anyway. I expect that most folk would put up with some tyre damage.

[@christopherhutchinson8043]

😎

[@charliewitcher3270]

So go Charlie witcher

[@jankotze1959]

Very nice, I got one of these, check my channel for tuck of war with it.

[@donaldasayers]

They run so much better on gas or on a meths burner.

[@johannesburing2417]

I don´t use any stinking solid fuel anymore on every small scale steam engine I own : Methylated spirit or a little gas burner does it , and yes,the Wilesco engines run very smooth on this fuels after a good running in . My two big steam engines are really coal fired
