The WD1's a nice looking engine, I had a WD2, similar state, well mine was in bits.

I quite like the look of the WD1's now used to prefer the WD2's

Got you hands full there! havnt had one like that for a while!

Cheers Steve

hi all...

finally got all my bits for my sons wolseley WD1....
the last bits finally arrived today so no excuses now...
so looks like i can now get on with it and get it painted and back together...
i do like these little engines....so simple and straight forward...
regards...mike..

I will be looking out for the smoke rings tommorow when you have it running
Jonesey

hold on mate..im a lot slower now a days due to my problem...
you mite have to wait a while for the smoke rings..
i need a large tap to tap a thread in the block for the exhaust,as the one in the engine is very well worn....
im hoping someone has one and it is possible to do,other wise im in the poo...
will have to see what i can do,some one must have one...
regards...mike...
