Wilesco Steam Roller Old Smoky Black/Brass
Wilesco Steam Roller Old Smoky Black/Brass
This Old Smoky Steam Roller is finished in elegant black and brass. A beautiful model for collectors.
This model of a mobile steam engine was modeled after a widely used steam roller that served in road construction until the 1950s.
Steam roller can be used both as a mobile and stationary machine
Walkway, chain steering and transmission coupling are standard features of our Old Smoky. The coupling, operated by a rod to the left of the driver's stand, allows the steam roller to be used as a stationary steam engine. The Old Smoky, with its 230cc boiler, is powerful enough to pull attachments in mobile operation and drive power models in stationary operation. The aluminum roller wheels of this steam roller are polished and painted.
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use
Our Wilesco steam roller D366 is suitable for both outdoor and indoor operation. With a reversible flywheel, it can drive forward and backward, and steering is accomplished through a steering chain. During operation, the steam roller's chimney smokes in an authentic manner. The running time with a load of original Witabs dry fuel is approximately 15 minutes. When using other dry fuel brands, the running time may be slightly shorter.
Steam roller also available as a kit
We also offer the D366 as a steam roller kit. This kit D376 has the same "features" as the already assembled steam roller. With this kit, you will experience first-hand how steam engines are constructed and work step by step on the combination of all parts. The kit can be easily assembled by novice steam engine enthusiasts thanks to the detailed, richly illustrated assembly instructions. The approximate time required to assemble the steam roller is three to four hours. It is advantageous if assembly can be carried out 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!
A wonderful and highly recommended souvenir of old times for all steam engine fans.
This steam engine comes with 2 WITABS solid fuels included, however, please don't forget to ensure fuel supply for optimal steam enjoyment with your D366.
