Archive for The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam Forum The Original Unofficial Toy Steam Forum Established 2006 The biggest, most popular steam forum around! Accept NO imitations! We have a growing community of regular posting members who chat about all aspects of toy and model steam.          The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam Forum Forum Index -> Wanted laknox Wilesco D32el I have a 220v Euro version Wilesco D32el.  I want to trade for a 110v US version in like, or better condition.  My engine is complete and works great on air.  I've never had water in it since I got it, so I can't say if the water pump works.  It also has a generator on it, but any light has been removed and the wires have been cut.  The tach is inop but I'm trying to gather info to fix it.  All 4 corners of the main base have been turned up slightly, which I think happened in shipping to me, but it shouldn't be a problem to bend them back straight.  There is a bit of scale at the bottom of the sight glass.  Whistle works and the safety valve weight is there.  If you've got one to trade, let me know, and I'll send pics of mine.  I have access to a heavily discounted FedEx account (comparable to regular post but much faster), so can help with shipping if needed.

Lyle mogogear It didn't go for that much when you consider what psantma's engine went for!! This one had a few details needing attention but ... all in all seemed a bargain!1 laknox mogogear wrote: It didn't go for that much when you consider what psantma's engine went for!!

Lyle johnreid Condolences, I just turned 54 and it all makes one undertand his own Mortality. I almost didnt make it past 49 and almost didnt make it past 52 so  if nothing else,I know that each day should be lived to the fullest. laknox johnreid wrote: Condolences, I just turned 54 and it all makes one undertand his own Mortality.

Think that line will work with my wife when I want a new "toy"?   Lyle johnreid There is a lot of truth in that line, you do not know what tomorrow brings. Enjoy life while you are here as once you are gone...... laknox johnreid wrote: There is a lot of truth in that line, you do not know what tomorrow brings. Enjoy life while you are here as once you are gone...... I don't think that would work any better than, "it's a great investment".   Lyle        The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam Forum Forum Index -> Wanted Page 1 of 1
