1920's Wilesco Workshop "Steamed"Well, not really 1920's
But i wanted a workshop in that look... So as the old original ones are high-priced, i decided to get me a used wilesco D141.... This is what it looked like: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170220638385 This is how it looks now  (sorry for the bad pictures)
Here's a video, running on air... |

Thanks
I also added a wilesco lamp and the dynamo. This model was sold as the D141 (without electrical light) and as a D141 D (if i remember correct, this is the number, with includesa red dynamo and the lamp) So this is a nice extra i added..also made the wire by myself..twisted yellow and blue electrical wires..makes a nice colour arrangement 
The floor is cut-to-fit doll's house papertiles...glues to the base, pre-fixed with hairspray and fixed with some coats of clear laquer

That was a very good price and in nice condition too:shock:
One not as good as that just sold on UK E-bay for ~ £110. That floor is great and gives it a nice period feel

Well the condition was actually not very good.. Base was rusty on the edges and on top... Boiler was full of limescale, boilerhousing full of soot 
Was good work to get all clean

Very Nice! 
Really like the floor! You really need a work station to show what these engines were for. |

It's amazing what a difference that floor makes.
It looks better than it does new. Nice job. |

That floor really finishes it off and it runs well also.

Thank you all
I think i give it a go on steam next weekend! 
The flywheel makes the engine go very smooth...very satisfied with that one! |

Stunning Mirko, amazing how a few key changes can make the whole thing look much older. Well done! | ||

The floor and the dynamo made it all worth while. I want to see it on steam

Very nice!! I had wondered if a heavier, larger flywheel would smooth things out.
Some ideas indeed!!

Here is the video of the workshop steamed
Runs very smooth and good! Maybe i have to add next time a bit more tablets (this time 3 1/2 tablets) |

Great vid again Mirko.
I liked the tools working at the slower speed. Very realistic. |
