Welcome

Welcome to steam-toys.com.

 

My name is Erik and this is my persional web page about the toy steam engines I collect. I started collecting steam toys in January 2005 and started this website in 2006. I started my collection by buying a brand new wilesco D18 on the German ebay. After A while I discovered that there where a lot of older engines for sale on ebay (mainly the UK ebay) and that it was a lot of fun restoring them. My collection started growing, and will probably continue to do so for a while.

My main interest is Mamod toy steam engines, but I'm also interessted in other brands and bigger engines. In the menu on the left you can choose engines to see pictures of it.

Besides showing my engines, I also use this site as a kind of diary for the engines. Whenever I change anything on a engine (like give it a new paint or changing parts) I place a update on this page for that engine, so I'll know what I did to a engine, and you might enjoy reading it. You can see the most recent updates below.
