just bought some stuff from my mate simon at steam4fun
i got a near mint wilesco d22, the only thing is, it has some rivets in the sight glass instead of screws, but still works a treat, and i bought a log wagon (truck) aswell.
d22s are normally about 190, i got this for 80, and the truck for 10.
this is the truck:

You'd never get 90 for the Wilesco if you were to sell it on. They really don't hold their value.
But, seeing as they are 190 new it's a good deal well done James

I think he would. But, it's a different story over here. I'm still kicking myself for not taking
a buy-it-now on a newly listed D22. It was $150 US. By the time I looked around to see
what they're worth, someone had bought it. The D22 is a very cracking engine, MM. Check
it out http://cgi.ebay.com/WILESCO-D-22-...PageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Over here, Wilesco's are stronger sellers than Mamods!

Maybe in the US Chuck, I don't see too many Wilesco's do top bucks over here.
Mamods are very expensive to buy for Americans. Brand new from Mamod they will probably cost 200USD as the dollar is worth 1.97 to every pound. But if you buy from Wilesco, it will be cheaper as the Euro isn't as strong as the pound.
Bad time for Uk exports to the US! all our products are failing and becoming too expensive for the US market!
So get your Mamods off ebay
