Here is the link :https://www.wilesco-shop.de/en/stationary-steam-engines/d16-steam-engine.html This Live Steam Engine has few scratches on the top of the boiler.This degraded it from excellent to very good. It is indeed in very good condition.It has been air tested (video) and should not give much trouble to operate on steam.Sometimes, a 50 years old gasket has dried up and needs replacement. This is a mechanically strong engine.As for the cosmetics, besides the boiler scratches (no leak), there are a few rare spots of light surface rust. It's mostly on the opening of the boiler housing (for the burner tray) and a bit on the smoke stack.This engine is complete, with the exception of the original box that is missing.It is 100% Wilesco original. You will need some solid fuel pellets (anywhere camping supplies are sold) and using solely distilled water is strongly recommended. Please select the shipping system that suits you best. Condition : If it were not for the few superficial scratches on top of the boiler (Photo - no perforation), this engine would be rated in excellent condition.

It is all original with 100% Wilesco components. It has been fired but not abused. Not much corrosion observed : a bit on the entrance of the burner tray and some on the smoke stack. Nothing terrible. I would rate it a C6/C7. VERY IMPORTANT : I am offering four UPS shipping options.

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 January 2025, I still have over 1,200 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.
