Wilesco’s products range – from steam engines to shovels
Among steam engine fans, the Wilhelm Schröder GmbH & Co.KG is better known as the brand „Wilesco“. For more than 100 years by now, it has been standing for tradition and high quality made in Germany.
With that being said, it is no surprise that steam engines are the main product in Wilesco’s portfolio. However, their range also includes hooks, shovels as well as zinc and aluminum die-cast parts. For this, Wilesco offers a service from the production of die-cast pieces to post-processing and surface finishing of those parts.
The 2018 highlight – a steam traction engine with crane
Wilesco’s highlight at this year’s toy fair in Nuremberg is the steam traction engine D405/1 with a crane. The short roof combined with the special color scheme as well as additional items, such as the tires, give this replica an authentic historical look.
The crane is mounted to the front axle and thus, can be moved to the left or right when steering. In addition, the hook can be lowered and raised by using the hand wheel. The crane can not only be used for the new model D405/1, but it also fits to all Wilesco traction engines, kits or assembled models.
Alongside the steam traction engine D405/1 and the crane, Wilesco also introduces its decalcifier for steam boilers after a long time of research and development. One unit contains a 100ml bottle of decalcifier and comes with detailed instructions on how to use it.
Wilesco’s innovations will be available and shipped globally from autumn 2018 on.
