My first restoration project before starting it - a wilesco d24
By: 34046 Date: July 12, 2019, 7:06 am

I listed this engine with lineshaft and a press in the for sale
but nobody want it.
So I will try to restore.
I am thinking to repaint to how I like to see it, ie dark green
unlined base, black firebox, ladders and chimney with black base
to engine stand with green inset panels and red flywheel.
NOTE - unable to get picture to load but there is a picture of
it in the for sale section. When I load it it keeps saying this
site cannot be reached ?

Kudos to you for choosing a custom color. There are plenty of
them in original colors. It only makes sense to bring engines
back to original colors if the original colors are rare.

Thank you for the thumbs up on the colour scheme. Just wish I
could get the picture to load.

I think it sounds like a fine project, and am certain your
colourscheme will fit this engine wonderfully.
Do keep us posted as the work progresses :)

Thank you very much indeed.
The lineshaft and punch in the pictures are available if anybody
can use them.

No problem restoring this one ..... just a quick wipe down with
an oily rag, and she'll be good as new.

Keep us posted as you work on this one, and give us a photo or
two along the way so we can see how you're progressing. Looks
like a worthwhile resto project from here!
