Description: LIVING ESTATE SALE (Details at the end of description) For your consideration is a Wilesco D365 Live Steam Roller made in Germany in 2002. It is still in production and this is the link if you'd like a brand new one :https://www.wilesco-shop.de/en/mobile-steam-engines/wilesco-old-smoky-steam-roller-d365.htmlList price at the current exchange rate is around $400 This live steam roller is in excellent condition.It is actually so good that, if you plan to purchase a new one with the intention of firing it, get this one and save a lot because a new one fired once will be in the same condition. Really. The steam roller has been air tested (video) and will operate on steam without any problem.It is 100% complete, including the original box and its inserts.It is 100% original.It has been fired and the only evidence of it is the burner tray and the places where the flame hits the boiler. Not a scratch, not a spec of corrosion and the only time (or two) it was fired, distilled water was used as there is no residue on the water level glass. The only thing that I noticed is the missing little red plastic tube that covers the handle of the whistle. You will need some solid fuel pellets (anywhere camping supplies are sold) and using solely distilled water is strongly recommended. Please select the shipping system that suits you best. Condition : If you are contemplating the purchase of a new one with the intention of firing it, save money and get this one instead. After the very first firing, it will look just like this one. Really. This engine is in an excellent condition. It has been air tested (video) and will run on steam without problem. It is complete, including the original box (and the original inserts). It is 100% original. The only thing to report is the little red plastic tube on the handle of the whistle is missing. I would rate it a solid C8. VERY IMPORTANT : I am offering four shipping options. You can check the cost by clicking next to shipping on "See Details" or make your choice at take-out. The default is usually UPS Ground as Expedited Shipping can be expensive and is not necessarily more reliable. Please keep in mind that I do not control the cost of shipping that is calculated by eBay.Free pick-up is always available (Rock Hill, SC). LESS IMPORTANT : Items are packed and ready for shipping when I make the listing. Combined shipping cannot be done if one item is larger than 8 x 8 x 8 packed. If it is possible, smaller items can be combined upon request prior to the payment. Guarantee : Item is guaranteed to be as described. I am a very honest seller hoping to deal with honest buyers. If I know something is wrong, I will disclose it but I certainly can make an honest mistake and will do my very best to correct it. Warning : Many of these older collectibles are not in compliance with today's safety standards. It is the responsibility of the buyer to determine whether or not they are still suitable for their intended purpose. Adult supervision is indispensable with any steam engine. Packaging :Items are packed carefully and should remain undamaged through a standard level of care during handling. LIVING ESTATE SALE DETAILS :I had my first steam engine when I was 9 years old. That was 65 years ago. I have been collecting them for 25 years and I am now 74. None of my descendants is interested in the collection, so I decided that it was time to liquidate. As of October 2024, I still have over 1,300 engines of all kinds to list. I believe in full disclosure. It takes me about an hour to list one item, between the assessment, the testing, the video, the photos, the description and the very careful packaging. I try to have very reasonable prices. At comparable quality, my prices are probably the lowest on the market.MS/AI
