OK - I had the same problem! I'll get a photo of mine with a Wilesco chimney - you can see what you think about it's looks and get one if you want.
Photo later - watch this space!

Hello again Chad.
Right, your engine is a model 120. Click this link to the relevant page of the Fleischmann archive:
http://www.ca-si.net/fleischmann/...fmaschinen/Ubersicht/120/120.html
As promised, here's some photos of my 120/4 with it's Wilesco chimney...
This is my 125/2 which now has the 120's s/v and whistle...
...and finally, this is what you get when you build these things soon after the war (WW2) and you can't get decent materials!
That's the 120 again - metal fatigue in the flyweel. (The piston's a replacement by the way.)
So I'm looking for a new flywheel and a whistle - if you hear of any, please let me know!

I'd love to help if I knew how!
For suggestions on the endcap, try this recent thread:
http://freesteammamod.myfreeforum.org/about3275.html
As for the flywheel, there may be a current Wilesco product available but I'm not sure. We need to establish the overall diameter and shaft size first, then start digging! A good source of Wilesco is:

Good luck!

Chad - the size of the fatigued flywheel on my 120 is 72mm (2 7/8") diameter and the crankshaft is 4mm (1/8").
Can you measure the flywheel and crankshaft of your D10, because I think they may be similar. If so we can replace the old Fleisch parts with new Wilesco bits!
Thanks for your help.
