1970s Wilesco D5

Here's a video of my Wilesco D5, which I restored, showing the preparation , start-up and running of the engine. Runs pretty well for it's age!

Ahhh, that smell. I have one of my own, its from early 80's. My grandmother bought it for me.

No music this time? :-)

I thought it was nicer to hear the engine; lacks excitement whilst being filled and set up though...

[@KnittingForArt]

super cool!

[@Gromatic]

looks like it was brand new!
great restoration

[@magnusericsson8684]

Have a similar d5, grey base so its a little bit older I think, jumps around like crazy when it gets going :-)

I just bought a d5 steam engine and I was wondering how long can it run before getting to 1/4 full or done

[@eisenbahneninh0771]

How many water do you put in the steam engine? I have the same engine and at a lot of problems with the water, in your video it look's really professionell.

[@simoninns]

iirc that syringe is 60ml and I filled it twice, so 120ml in total.
