D305 Fire Truck
D305 - The Mobile Steam-Powered Fire Engine from Wilesco In 1987, Wilesco released its first mobile steam engine in the form of a fire engine. The fire engine was modeled after the automotive Magirus steam pump, which was used by fire departments in Germany, England, and the US around the turn of the century. The small, mobile, and steam-powered version of the Wilesco fire engine is modeled after the original down to the smallest detail. With simple heating using our dry fuel Witabs, the fire engine can move forward and backward, making it fun for the whole family. Just like its model, the steam-powered car has a standing boiler and drive. The self-priming water pump can be put into operation with the clutch lever. Under the front bench seat of the fire engine is a water supply tank. This has a direct hose connection to the water pump. The benches are made of wood, the boiler itself and all pipes are made of brass. "Real" functioning water jet of the Wilesco fire engine Of course, the water jet can also be used as such, just like a real fire engine. The pump that can be operated draws water from the water tank under the bench seat. This can then be sprayed up to 3 meters away. The pressure of the water can be adjusted with the steam shut-off valve. As with the original, the D305's water tank can be refilled with a hose. This means that on the one hand, the boiler can be manually filled with water, but on the other hand, a hose can be hung in water, for example in a water glass, and refilled through the suction function of the tank. To do this, simply turn the flywheel in the other direction. Did you know... ...that fire trucks in Germany are completely different from those in the US, for example? This is because German fire departments must be as multifunctional as possible because they drive to many different deployments in diverse situations. A German fire truck must be able to travel through both urban areas and forests and fields. ...that the first fire pumps were already invented in ancient Rome? The first public fire departments were organized under Emperor Augustus. ...that the very first fire trucks were built as carriages and wagons? The fire brigade or their horses then pulled them to the deployment site. During industrialization, these were further developed to be motorized. However, widespread use took a long time: it was feared that the weight of the motorized vehicles would cause damage to the streets.
D310 Foden lorry „Mighty Atom“
Wilesco D310 Foden lorry "Mighty Atom" Model D310 was added to the Wilesco product line in 2013. It is an accurate reproduction of a truck from the English brand Foden, which also carries the name "Mighty Atom". Foden produced steam-driven trucks between 1896 and 1930, all of which had a payload of over 3 tons. The Mighty Atom was one of these models. The intricate spoke wheels, wooden flatbed, and gold-printed cab are just some of the features of this beautiful model. The D310's chassis is marked with the Wilesco logo and model designation. Powerful Drive Through D405 Components For a powerful drive of the Foden truck, both the boiler housing and the boiler, cylinder, piston, and steam lines of the D405 are installed in this model. These components were specifically painted black for the Mighty Atom. The steam truck's flywheel has a diameter of 55 mm. The two-speed belt drive of the truck acts on the rear axle. The vehicle is delivered fully assembled, making it ready to use immediately and controllable via the steering wheel.
D320 Steam lorry
Wilesco D320 Steam lorry This nostalgic truck with cable remote control Z361 is a miniature model of a truck series from 1915. The transport of goods with such vehicles was slower at that time and had nothing to do with today's just-in-time deliveries. The truck with tarpaulin inspired by historical models has a fully functional steam propulsion. The boiler and the single-cylinder, double-acting unit specially designed for this mobile steam engine model are housed in the driver's cab. The roof of the driver's cab is held by a magnetic clasp and can be easily removed to fill the standing steam boiler with water. The burner lever is located between the wheels of the front axle of the Wilesco D320 steam truck. The steering (right/left) is done using the cable remote control Z361. Note: Forward and reverse steering is not possible. The wood tarpaulin can be tipped backwards to unload.

Steam Locomobile D430
The Steam-Powered Locomobile D430 by Wilesco Locomotives were mainly used in agriculture around the turn of the 20th century. They were used for plowing and threshing. At that time, locomotives could be mounted both mobile and stationary. The difference to automobiles was that they were often pulled to their destination by horses. However, they could also drive themselves and move at a speed of 3 - 4 km/h. The details of the steam model D430 correspond to a common locomotive at that time. The brass boiler is 55 mm wide in diameter. It also has a compartmentalized smoke chamber for the condensate. This means that real steam comes out of the chimney, which can also be tilted in the middle by a hinge. The special thing is that the cylinder is double-acting and equipped with two flywheels and a double drive disc. For the initial steam fun, the D430 comes with two pieces of our dry fuel Witabs to your home. For longer steam fun, make sure to order enough dry fuel! The exciting history of the locomotive Locomotives were primarily used by threshers. One could imagine these as a kind of agricultural day laborers. During harvest time, they traveled from farm to farm and offered their services there. Their locomotives could be mounted both mobile and stationary at that time. The difference to automobiles was that they were often pulled to their destination by horses. However, they could also drive themselves and move at a speed of 3 - 4 km/h. However, operation and power development were only possible while stationary. For heating the locomotives, low-grade fuel could be used for convenience. Thus, the firebox was even partially heated with straw or cheap wood. The steam engine built up a constant pressure and converted the heat into mechanical energy. The low noise level was particularly advantageous here. At the time, internal combustion engines caused high noise pollution, as the energy was generated as a sequence of explosions. Locomotives were even used for heavy stationary work until the 1960s, mainly to drive stone crushers or log splitters. After that, they were largely replaced by tractors. These had a more efficient cost-benefit ratio and were easier to operate. Did you know... …that the TÜV (Technical Inspection Association) originated from the DÜV (Steam Boiler Inspection Association)? As steam boilers became more capable of producing more power during industrialization, there were more and more accidents due to exploding boilers. A particularly severe case occurred in 1865 at the Mannheim Stock Brewery. To prevent this, regional "Steam Boiler Inspection Associations" were established, which later became the Technical Inspection Association (TÜV).
Steam Locomotive Hohenlimburg
The “Hohenlimburg” locomotive was already in service in 1899 on the Hohenlimburg railway, where it was used as one of three two-axle box locomotives. Due to the route’s characteristics, featuring numerous urban sections and tight curve radii, compact box locomotives proved particularly suitable for reliable operation in the early years. Wilesco interprets this historic prototype as a fully functional steam locomotive model, finished in a classic green, black, and red color scheme, inspired by locomotives of its era. The enclosed design, compact construction, and clean lines give the D300 steam locomotive “Hohenlimburg” a distinctive and authentic appearance. The model is designed for G gauge (45 mm, compatible with LGB® systems) and is powered by dry fuel tablets. During operation, visible steam is emitted from the chimney, vividly enhancing the authentic steam locomotive experience. An RC speed control system is planned for this model. 👉 Pre-order now!
