Wilesco 00018 D18 Steam Engine

Steam engine D18

In terms of color, this model variant represents an absolute innovation: the water-blue base plate was combined with a black boiler housing and a silver-colored unit plate. The flywheel is painted black.

The technology of this machine reflects a combination of the types D20 and D16, to which some technical refinements have been added.

Further technical details on the D18 steam engine:

• water drain valve
• spring safety valve
• Steam whistle with chain hoist
• Steam Shutoff Hand Wheel Valve
• steam jet oiler
• Attractive, galvanized die-cast rods
• Base dimensions: 30 x 35 cm
• Height: 32cm
• Net weight: 2.5kg
• Heating: solid fuel
• Boiler volume: 530 ccm

The highly polished and nickel-plated brass kettle has a capacity of 530cc and is equipped with a new small pressure gauge (26mm diameter) and a nickel-plated pressure gauge base.

The condensate is discharged into a container - concealed behind the boiler house. As a result, the chimney smokes naturally.

A dynamo was added to the unit plate, which supplies electricity to the lantern in the rear area, between the boiler and the unit.

The lantern is based on the industrial lights of the turn of the century and illuminates the flywheel during operation.
