1990s Wilesco D20 Large Live Steam Engine - Air Tested Toys Gift Boys Men # 0628

Description: LIVING ESTATE SALE (Details at the end of description) MM/AI For your consideration is a Wilesco D20 (Large) Steam Engine manufactured in Germany in the 1990s. One more detail : this is my very last one... This large engine (one of the largest Wilesco produces) is in good but not perfect condition.It has been air tested (video) and should not give much trouble to operate on steam.The engine is complete except for the original box that is missing.It comes with a pressure gauge (that is working). The engine has been fired but was not abused.There are a few spots of surface rust (photos). These are mostly on the base and you might want to consider re-painting it. It is only cosmetic and does not affect the functionality at all.One detail to signal : the weight for the whistle/pressure relief valve is not original. It seems to do the job though. This engine is still in production and you can get a new one from the factory : https://www.wilesco-shop.de/en/stationary-steam-engines/d20-steam-engine.html At the current exchange rate, the price of a new one is around $450. You will need some solid fuel pellets (anywhere camping supplies are sold) and distilled water is highly recommended. Please select the shipping system that suits you best. Condition :This Large Live Steam engine is in good, but not perfect 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. The whistle/pressure relief valve weight is not original but it seems to do the job. A thorough cleaning is probably called for. There is a few places with surface rust (photos). All in all, I would rate it a solid C6. 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 November 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.
