Space-saving steam engine D14
This stationary model is a space-saving steam engine. The D14 is the only one in Wilesco's range of model steam engines to have the power unit built on top of the boiler. The boiler measures 140 x 55 mm with a volume of 250 cm³, and the heavy flywheel has a diameter of 80 mm, ensuring a powerful operating time per boiler filling. This model, heated with Witabs dry fuel, also has a particularly long running time. During operation, the power machine runs smoothly and almost without vibrations. The dome steam whistle, operated by a small lever, produces sounds during operation. The condensate is discharged into a condensation water tray underneath the chimney, allowing real "smoke" (steam) to come out of the chimney, adding a very authentic touch to the experience.
Please ensure that the steam engine is not operated without sufficient water in the boiler; the water level must always be visible in the sight glass at least at the bottom edge.
Tips for operating your Wilesco D14 power engine:
Regular oiling is necessary even when there is no steam pressure in the boiler and the model has cooled down. To do this, unscrew the oil filler plug and pour in Wilesco steam engine oil, turning the flywheel several times to suck in the oil. It is recommended to oil the D14 every time you fill it with fuel to prevent the piston from seizing up. Experience shows that 2 to 3 drops of Wilesco steam engine oil are sufficient for approximately 10 minutes of operation. All bearings and joints should also be lightly oiled to ensure a long service life for your D14 and lasting steam fun.
