Hey!
It's done: My fleischmann steam engine is complete.
I was lucky and got the chimney and the lead weight very cheap.
Those were the missing parts.
Engine has got a meths burner (inside)
The 3rd pic shows some figures i found in the flea market..got also the oil-man and the mechanist. All a bit broken, but will try to sort out somehow.

Excellent stuff Mirko. Those figures will be good if you can fix them. Where is the man in blue from. He's not part of the current Wilesco range?

I have four figures, two bigger and two smaller ones.
I think they are all wilesco, but one older generation and one younger i think

Looks great Mirko!
Yours is quite alot different to mine!
Bit disappointed that it has that type of chimney, I were hoping it would have one of the really tall ones with the nice cap on the top!

These type of chimneys were only produced pre WWII
After that they used to make chimneys like this.
