The Wilesco Old Smoky D375 Steam Roller Kit

The Wilesco Old Smoky D375 Steam Roller Kit

This D375 kit has the same "features" as the pre-assembled steam roller. With this kit, you will experience first-hand how steam engines are constructed and work step by step to combine all the individual parts. The kit can also be assembled well by inexperienced steam engine enthusiasts, thanks to the detailed, richly illustrated assembly manual. The approximate time required to assemble the steam roller is three to four hours. It is favorable if it can be assembled without interruption. All individual parts of the steam tractor have been subjected to a careful quality control before leaving our steam engine factory. 
Please note: The kit for our Old Smoky steam roller is not available in the black/nickel color combination!

We have been producing the Old Smoky steam roller in this form since the mid-1960s, it was the first mobile model steam engine in the Wilesco program.

This model of a mobile steam engine was modeled after a widely used steam roller that served in road construction until the 1950s of this century.

The color scheme has not changed since the 60s!

Steam roller usable both mobile and stationary

Walkway, chain steering and gear coupling are standard details of our Old Smoky. The coupling - operated on the left side of the cab through a rod - allows the steam roller to be operated as a stationary steam engine. The Old Smoky, with its 230 cc boiler, is strong enough to pull accessories in mobile operation and drive drive models in stationary operation. The aluminum roller wheels of this steam roller are anodized and painted.

For indoor and outdoor operation

Our Wilesco D365 steam roller is suitable for both outdoor and indoor operation. As the Wilesco D375 has a flywheel that can be started in both directions, it can drive forward and backward, and the steering is controlled by a steering chain. During operation, the steam roller's chimney smokes authentically. The running time with a charge of original Witabs dry fuel is approximately 15 minutes. When using other dry fuel brands, the running time may be slightly less.

A wonderful and highly recommended memento of old times for all steam engine fans.

2 WITABS dry fuels are included with this steam engine, but please do not forget to provide fuel replenishment for optimal steam enjoyment with your D375.
