Damned is that model well preserved!! Is there anywhere some rust? Never seen such a machine in this perfect condition! I hope You'll treat this bijoux, like it deserves to be treaten.
@SH1974 Thank you. Yes it had some rust under the 4 base corners. Had been cleaned.
The boiler had dezinc in its lower end cap and was replaced by a copper end cap a friend of mine made for me.
It is in being loved and kept in a glass cabinet. Lots of work repairing it and Tender Loving Care (TLC) in this beautiful machine.Translated the manual from Ger to Eng. It makes an analogy with the engine explaining how a real Atomic pwr station works.
@SH1974 The big majority of my steam engines came under such poor conditions and had been fully restored. That is the only way I could have afforded them. Look at the other videos in my channel.. Specially the little Fleischmanns and Jensen 10-1951.
D32 is Wilesco's Flag ship. Good luck in obtaining yours.
Usually, I love to see those machines run
instead to stand in the display case.
But this one, I'm not sure.

@Robertosala1 It's nice to know, this machine is in good hands.
Altough I don't really aim to own such a model once (*), it is nice to see that they are still alive and loved.
(* I'm aiming for a well preserved D32, anytime when it crosses my way.. I do own a D3 and a D21, see in my channel.)
HAVE FUN WITH YOUR WILESCO(S)!

But thanks.
