There's an older D24el on US ebay right now. I think I posted a link to it in the US Ebay section the other day.


Not selling my own D22, but I do have lots of videos posted of it running

What do you think about the D21?

I dont like the D21. I like the pump and everything its just the colours are all rong in my oppinion. Its expensive aswell compared to the D20 when you are just getting a pump and a paint job extra

I once came very close to buying a D21, I really liked the pump idea, though a pity it was not engine driven.

Got to agree, the colour sceme is not the best.

The pump would be the 1 selling point for me. Not sure if it's worth the extra above a D20 or even D18, considering even the D22 doesn't need refilling more often than anything else I run. Someday I'll want one or the other, just to have a single example of Wilesco's largest engine. Everything I've got now is based on their mid-size unit.

Perhaps I should look for an older model D24..

I would just like the pump, from the engine. But thats what cheap jensen 60s are for. I made a working model of a heart with a bit of meccano and my jensen 60 engine. I'm now thinking about a boiler pump for my steam wagon.
