Here's a shot of my second live-steam engine. Again, a workhorse; the Wilesco D141d Werkstatt mit Dynamo. I've seen very few D141's with a factory dynamo; how common are they? I picked this up in about '85 or '86 from a small FAO Schwarz toy store in Phoenix that was going out of business. It was missing the safety valve, box and instructions, but was otherwise complete. My ex thought I was nuts for paying $225 for it. Even then, it retailed for about $350 or $400. Once again, sorry for the dust.

Very nice Model

I came very close to getting one a couple of months ago, a new one, but didn't.

Love the idea of the light/dynamo
