New Wilesco Project
By: Hero Date: October 21, 2019, 9:29 am

Got this Wilesco D457 recently. It needs a few things, like a
boiler bushing, chimney, etc.
It's on my list, and I'll get to it one day.
Anybody have a chimney that'll fit it?

Looks to bd in very good condition.
It's a handsome design.

I like it, too, even though my tastes run more to scratch-built
engines and those made from castings.
Nice toy, regardless.
And thanks for your approval.

The engine runs fine on air, and the boiler looks all right, so
it shouldn't be hard to sort the rest. If worse comes to worst,
I can make a serviceable chimney.

No help with the parts here, but that sure is an attractive
engine 8)

Bob you should be able to get some brass tube and the tops of
the chimneys you can still purchase.

Thanks. I have some brass tube, and I can take a shot at
fabricating the top from shim stock. Otherwise, as you say, I'll
buy a top.
