I like the first engine very much. Do you know who the manufacturer is? About the Wilesco D40 TE.... Is there a blue or a yellow label at the front? Do you know what thread the savety valve has? M5 or M6? I would like to see some videos especially from the small engine at the top. Klaus ministeamer Klaus Lutz wrote: Hi What a fine collection. I like the first engine very much.

Les A very nice collection indeed.   Pmackh Harbro Toytown Steamer The Harbo Toytown steamer actually came in a Selfridges box (see Picture) It needs a little bit of lubrication (like me!), so before i steam it up i want to give it a bit of TLC. I will get back to you on that. Click to see full size image The Wilesco D40 has a yellow label and an M6 thread on the safety valve. What is the significance of that ? Click to see full size image Ross very nice wilesco i have one just like that too steamyjim Click to see full size image This is based on a GWR loco, not sure what class, but I love it! Click to see full size image[/img] Looks like a model of a BR 9F. What gauge are these? 32mm or 45mm? johnreid Too bad the picture area so tiny, the couple that I can see are real nice logoman that Marine plant will come up a treat, only needs a polish by the looks of it. great boiler, but you'll need a burner. Pmackh Looks like a model of a BR 9F. What gauge are these? 32mm or 45mm? The chassis is 750mm long front to back. I am not sure where you measure for the guage so i took a picture for you     (i'm only learning !) steamyjim That's bigger than I thought it would be, looks like 3 1/2" gauge. Is the GWR loco the same gauge? steamyjim I beleive it is an LBSC design... http://www.littlelocomotives.com/9F.html Klaus Lutz Re: Harbro Toytown Steamer Pmackh wrote: The Harbo Toytown steamer actually came in a Selfridges box (see Picture) It needs a little bit of lubrication (like me!), so before i steam it up i want to give it a bit of TLC.

Click to see full size image It is interesting because it is a rather early model of the D40. Still with the D36 SR front but with the long canopy. The first D40 had the short D36 SR canopy. I have a rather similar one but it has a M5 safety valve. Strange isn´t it? The sticker at the front is missing and I am unsure if the first stickers were blue not yellow. Habro? Never heard about that manufacturer. Every day one can learn something new. I like the llok of that small engine very much. Klaus redryder Very nice collection !!!! Gil igy569 Nice stuff!!! newsteamer123 very nice collection! especial like the stuarts TE1DRIVER awesome collection Pmackh Re: Harbro Toytown Steamer Klaus Lutz wrote: [it is a rather early model of the D40.

I will show you pictures when i collect it. what year is my  D40  ?? The "Toytown Flyer" box says it was manufactured in England by "Dixon Plastics".        The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam Forum Forum Index -> Collections and pics Page 1 of 1
