Steamroller D368 black/nickel

The Wilesco steam roller Old Smoky D368 (black/nickel)

The Old Smoky steamroller in black/nickel is another color variation that is interesting for collectors and steam enthusiasts.

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

Mobile and stationary steam roller

A catwalk, chain steering, and gear coupling are standard features of our Old Smoky (black/nickel). The coupling—operated by a rod to the left of the driver's cab—allows the steam roller to also be operated as a stationary steam engine. With its 230 cc boiler, the Old Smoky is powerful enough to pull accessories in mobile operation as well as power models in stationary operation. The aluminum roller wheels of this steam roller are anodized and painted.

For indoor and outdoor use

Our Wilesco D368 steam roller is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Because the Wilesco D368 features a bidirectional flywheel, it can drive forward and backward, and steering is controlled by a timing chain. During operation, the steam roller's chimney emits authentic smoke. It runs for approximately 15 minutes on one load of original Witabs solid fuel.

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

This steamroller comes with dry fuel for the first run. However, please ensure you have plenty of fuel in time.
