Very nice! I enjoyed your video.

It’s very nice but over priced

If the electric heater was ajustable , it would be easier to regulate.

haha i like "speedo meter" that got a good smile outta me

The 410 grade steam oil that you are using is very common over here in UK where there are literally thousands of small steam engines, like mine, running around on backyard tracks and in clubs, Here it is very cheap to buy in large amounts - I buy it in half-litre bottles for around eu15, but you can get it cheaper at a train show.

There's a serious miss-alignment issue with the lefthand flywheel and connecting rod which appears to be causing side thrust and rattle.

Sorry but I gave up watching what could habe been an interesting video. It is a shame that you have made an interesting subject into such boring video. I am sure however your heart is the right place and am sorry for giving you such a damming comment. After all we are both steam enthusiasts. Sorry! After all I have made many boring videos on RUclips myself. Best regards, and schöne Grüß, Phil

You are running it too fast. The governor is constantly maxed out.

You have zero clue

So yeah where the steam I don't see any😮😮

I Hear german

Great line of steam engines 👍

How the hell did I get here? Steam tube?

G'day, It was all good, Until you stated that it's An ELECTRIC Boiler. So, Post Apocalypse, When the Grid goes down, It's USELESS. I want a 1 to 5 Hp Output Steam Engine which runs on FIRE (Wood)...; Or maybe a Concentrated Solar-Thermal Reflector...(?). My Off-Grid Solar-Electric System feeds Lead Acid Batteries (90% Efficient), feeding an Inverter (95% Efficient), running a Battery-Charger (80% Efficient) , Filling Lithium Ion Batteries (95% Efficient), Running an Electric Motor (92% Efficient)..... So 75% of the Electricity coming from either my Solar Panels, or 57.8% of the Torque from a 4-Stroke Petrol/Electric Generator's Motor's Crankshaft...; duly emerges as Torque coming from the (Brushcutter's) Electric Motor...(!). Single-Action Steam Engines are 10% Efficient at turning Steam into Torque, Double-Action Engines are 20% Efficient, Triple-Expansion Double-Action Steam Engines are 30% Efficient at turning Steam into Torque... But..., No Boiler can EVER convert any more than 50% of the Energy in the FIREBOX/Products of Combustion, into Hot Water/Steam... So, therefore Thus & because..., The Very BEST Reciprocating Steam Engine can only ever convert 15% of the Energy in it's Fuel..., into Torque. Anybody who has Access to the Coalfired Gridpower required to Raise Steam in this (Admittedly beautifully-made, and seriously potentially dangerous...) Little TOY.... Might perhaps, If their machine was running Firewood, If it were a Double-Acting Unit like this one, Have a way of making Torque from Fire & Water which is 10% Efficient... Overall.... And from that, they might get Some useful Work Done...(?) ! Whereas the 50cc, 2.5 Hp 2-Stroke Single-Cylinder Engine in my Old Tanaka TBC-500 Brushcutter...; cannot possibly be any better than 6.8% Efficient, at turning Oiled Petrol, into Torque...(!). (1 Litre per Hour, to brushcut with the 2-Stroke..., versus 473 ml per hour put through the 4-Cycle Generator to cut, Electrically, for an Hour - and then recharge ; on the identical Forest-Floor...., doing the same amount of Work/Time (= Power)...! If you rip out & discard the Electric Immersion-Heater, and Rebuild this thing so that it can Boil Water over a Fire of burning Wood Shavings, & Twigs & Sticks...; THEN, You would possess an actually Useful TOOL...! Rather than the Exquisitely beautiful, But Useless..., TOY - Which you have Showcased, Herewithin. Just(ifiably ?) sayin'. Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

Amazing machine! Its is really a work of art!

Could you-would you change a cell phone with this?

I have the smallest steamer from Wilesco. I got it when I was 10 and it works great. I fire with Meta tablets which burn for a while but you seem to have found another solution with electricity.

why a small size generator, i am sure a engine this size could power a larger generator (dc motor run in reverse). The way you have it at the moment the fuel costs more to power the machine than the generator produces !

While I think this is an excellent introduction to a complex steam plant operation (balance feedwater, RPM, and power output) I am a little confused and concerned about one feature. I'm sure the boiler has a proper relief valve (safety valve), but watching you unplug the system because it was raising a higher pressure than desired indicates that this safety valve wasn't properly calibrated. I think the better solution that Wilesco could have done was to include a pressure transducer to switch off the heating element once a certain pressure was reached. This would have been a 'belts and suspenders' solution, but would have allowed the tachometer to continue working even when no heat was applied to the boiler. I have experience with live steam locomotives and our fireboxes use butaine, spirits, or coal. Butaine can easily be shut down, but spirts or coal is not so easy. Mains power is certainly a luxury for ease of firing! Thanks for a great video!

Come on come on do the locomotion with me 😊

Hi, I sub to your channel, stay connected, take care, thanks and cheers, Fabrizio - like 26

Ive got the d161 but this one is supper cool

For 2800 Euros?

Kannst du mal deutsche Videos machen

Du bist deutsch

es ist ein meisterwerk von deutschem englisch "so hier komes se schmoke aut"

Hat Wilesco eine eigene Seite? Wäre interessant zu wissen wo man so etwas herkriegen kann.

This is great! Never saw one this large. I have an old D-20 bought about 30 years ago at a vintage toy shop.

that can charge our phones ?

Update on my comment on the first run video you made. The Variac is the same as the one I use. My D32 is still running well and has run up to 2 hours at slow speed like you show at 6:40. Good to know the RPM indicator still works on the lower voltage, I have not experimented with that. I run at 120 volts most times.

Da kann man den Deutschen aktzent erkennen

I like it! Anyhow, I don't get why Wilesco provided a 180° crank offset angle. At 90° it would start immediately when pressurized.

Wow .. I had that second one as a child … waaaaaaaay back

Nice video But be honest a price of 2700 euro? It isnt worth that amount of money. I used to repair and rebuild Wilesco's in the past. Second the electric elements are not overheat protected. So no water in the tank and the tank could blow up. Its a bomb.

Nothing like a nice slow run in. Not

Ich muss den negativen Kommentaren irgendwie Recht geben. Ich besitze auch eine D 32, eine aus der "alten Produktion" aus den späteren Jahren, aber ein Original! Läuft alles einwandfrei und leichtgängig, nichts eiert herum, die Pumpe ist in jedem Betriebszustand smooth, keine Krawallgeräusche zu hören. Meine Maschine läuft traumhaft und ist ebenfalls "fast" neuwertig. Keinen Plastikmüll verbaut UND ich kann meine Stromzufuhr mit Schalter ohne Steckerziehen regeln. Bin echt froh dass ich die hab´. Dennoch möchte ich Wilesco loben, dass sie es gewagt haben diese tolle Maschine nochmal aufzulegen. Immerhin, besser so in der mittleren Qualitätsklasse als gar nicht ! Ich bin auch echt froh, dass Wilesco existiert und in Deutschland produziert. Ist mit allem drum und dran noch immer meilenweit besser wie alles andere, was weltweit in dieser Preisklasse produziert wird. Auch der D32-Klon wird in nicht allzulanger Zeit eine sehr gesuchte Maschine sein und ihren Werterhalt leisten. Da muss sich kein Besitzer, auch des Klons, Sorgen machen. Somit ist es meiner Meinung nach KEIN FEHLER auch den Klon zu besitzen. Wilesco, macht weiter so, nur wenn´s geht, ein bisschen mehr Qualität bitte !

Ich will das auch haben 😊

Meh

Very nice

Very. Nice

Have this washed and brought to me.

Left flywheel is either out of balance, or warped. needs some T.L.C. should be as smooth as the right .

Previously owned 2 D32el's. One had the heater at 1500W. The other had a 1300W heater. The boiler assembly is relatively more complicated than engines fired with the solid fuel tablets. The heating element is embedded within the boiler lagging on older versions of these. Removing the endplate to access the water level window must have caused an electrical breakdown of the insulation on the 1300w engine. The side fasteners around the window were long through studs. A generator was an aftermarket fitment on older versions, fastened to 2 through studs on the base alongside the boiler feed pump.

Kinda hard to understand the what the hell he's talking about!

Just checked what it costs. £2,150.00! O_o

Great video ,After seeing this I am thinking of buying a stationary steam engine , I like running my live steam trains but at least with a Wilesco I could run it when and where I want to !

A mid-life crisis toy is a banana-yellow Corvette Stingray with a custom license-plate that says "BRN2OVRC0MPNS8". This steam engine is just a toy. A nice toy. An intelligent toy. But it's just a toy.
