Willesco D455Just for interest, I don't know how many of you have seen a D455 running. I bought this on ebay about 6 weeks ago from a guy in the States for 35 quid, and received it only last week. I was impressed with it's look and size (it's next to my TE1A for scale) also its smoothness and power. See what you think.http://s115.photobucket.com/album...ion=view¤t=DSCF0995.flv |

Mike did one a while ago when there was WW3 with the Mamod V Wilesco debate. I had to check whether my volume was on it was that quiet  Very jealous you got it for £35

No Dauntless, and it is quiet. Very flashy and not very British. I like it though.

Still in the box with all the bits and instructions, etc. As the weeks went by, I thought I'd been ripped off, but he turned out to be a really nice guy, and he packed it really well.

I can't believe how quiet they are, smooooth! I heard more noise from
Yosa turning the model than from the engine running. Nice buy, Phil! Another great vid by Mike, too. Nice kitchen, but I was hoping he'd open the fridge so I could see what there is to eat!
