Notes: This Wilesco engine is a fully working model, with an end water sight glass, pressure relief valve, whistle, piston speed valve, tablet burner, and steam drip tray. It has one output steam pipe to the overhead piston head, and one relief pipe to the detachable chimney. It is displayed on a board together with a Wilesco modern tool station comprising of a table bench saw, twin wheel grinders, and a vertical pillar drill. These tools are all working tools. The 4 way line shaft being pre fitted on this set. Note that this is an early type D14. The way to find out is by measuring the diameter of the thread to the pressure relief valve. I puchased a modern compessed air adaptor only to find out it was too small, and that was because Wilesco made the older version D14 with bigger drilled and tapped hole into the boiler.
