D161 Steam Engine

Product information "D161 Steam Engine"

Wilesco D161 Steam Engine


The Wilesco Steam engine D161 is a medium-sized workshop. The color scheme of the base and unit plate combined with the black boiler gives the workshop a nostalgic look. In a small space, this steam engine workshop displays diverse mechanics in a compact way: The Wilesco Werkstatt D161 consists of a Wilesco steam engine model D16 with steam stop valve and centrifugal regulator, combined with a transmission, a dynamo, a lantern, and a forge hammer. The speeds of the flywheel and the built-in drive models can be controlled via the steam stop valve.

The steam engine workshop is powered by our dry fuel Witabs.

Wilesco Werkstatt D161: D16 steam engine with drive models 

To visualize the generated steam power, the Wilesco Werkstatt D161 is equipped with an angle transmission and two permanently installed drive models: 

  • Dynamo with street lantern M66/2
  • Forge hammer M58
Our steam engine workshop is easy to operate and therefore also suitable for beginners. Watching it is fun for both children and adults, and soon it will be whistling and hissing throughout the house.

Wilesco Werkstatt D161 as a novelty in 2019 

The steam engine workshop was completely overhauled for its relaunch in 2019: The color of the base and unit plate was changed from blue to green. The D16 boiler is now painted black. Previously, three workshop drive models were permanently installed on the plate of the D161, but today you can design your workshop scene more flexibly: With the included angle transmission M50, you can easily connect any additional drive models. Thanks to the built-in dynamo with lantern, your Wilesco workshop is now always well lit.

Steam Engine Oil
Steam Engine Oil

Wilesco Steam Engine Oil - Perfectly Matched for Your Wilesco Steam Engine Everyone who loves steam engines knows that a steam engine cannot run without steam engine oil. Regular and sufficient oiling with our original Wilesco steam engine oil ensures a smooth operation of your power engine and a long lifespan of the product you have purchased. The oil is used for lubricating pistons and cylinders as well as all other bearings. It is important not to use just any oil, because the correct consistency of the oil is crucial. Depending on the type of oil used, the oil may become hard, too thick or too thin. Therefore, Wilesco offers its special steam engine oil, whose composition is perfectly matched to all Wilesco steam engines. With our steam engine oil, you can be sure you are making the right choice!
