September 2024 Categories: News

At the Milbury Model Company, we take pride in being your go-to specialists for all things toy steam engines. Along with our extensive range of new models and spare parts from renowned brands like Wilesco and Mamod, we also offer professional restoration services for non-operational steam engines!

Do you have a beloved toy steam engine that has seen better days? Whether it’s been sitting idle for years or recently developed a fault, our team of experienced model specialists are here to help restore its original functionality.


What Our Restoration Service Includes:

Our focus is on bringing your steam engine back to life by ensuring it runs smoothly again. Unlike some services, we do not offer cosmetic restorations like repainting or aesthetic touch-ups. Instead, we concentrate on mechanical repair and maintenance, ensuring your model runs safely as it should.

Here are some of the key services we offer:

1. General Repairs and Maintenance

Over time, parts of your steam engine may wear down or stop working. Whether it's the gearing, drive components, or pressure systems, our skilled technicians can diagnose and repair a wide range of issues, getting your model back to full working order.

2. Boiler Replacement

The boiler is the heart of any steam engine, and if it has become corroded or damaged, the engine will cease to function. We offer complete boiler replacement services, ensuring that your engine has the reliable heat source it needs to run safely and efficiently again.

3. Servicing

Just like a car, your steam engine needs regular servicing to keep it operating smoothly. Our thorough servicing process includes checking for leaks, testing safety valves, cleaning components, and lubricating moving parts to make sure your engine performs at its best.
