Early 1950/60 - Wilesco D12 Live Steam Engine - (very Good) - Gift Boys Men 1531

Description: LIVING ESTATE SALE (Details at the end of description) For your consideration is a Wilesco D12 Live Steam Engine made in Germany in the 1950/1960s.Two things indicate the circa of production : - The stamping "Made in Western Germany" that was hardly seen after 1960. - The high quality whistle/pressure relief valve that was discontinued in the late 1960s for being too expensive to produce. The Live Steam Engine is in very good and all original condition, except for the whistle weight.It has been fired but was cared for.The original box is missing.It has been air tested (video) and should operate on steam without much trouble. It was unfortunately fired with tap water, which explains the white calcium residue on the water level sight. It typically cleans up fairly easily with a solution of distilled water, vinegar and CLR.For future use, distilled water is strongly recommended. The D12 Single Cylinder was discontinued a while back. The newer version has 2 cylinders.https://www.wilesco-shop.de/en/stationary-steam-engines/steam-engine-d12.html You will need some solid fuel (anywhere camping supplies are sold) and distilled water is highly recommended. Please note that if an item has been only "air tested", it might need some work or adjustments to make it run on steam. Often, older gaskets have dried up and need replacement. My hands aren't steady enough anymore for the precise work of cutting new gaskets. I wish I could... Please select the shipping system that suits you best. Condition : This Live Steam Engine is in very good and original condition. It has been air tested (video) and should not give much trouble to operate on steam. It is complete and all original but the original box is missing. The whistle weight does not appear to be original. Very good considering its age (60+ years old) 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.SU/AI
