Marklin "Engine House" 4117 or 4134
« on: September 18, 2022, 02:34:04 pm »
After months of work and cleaning, this survivor from around 1905 is now ready to show off. It survived much abuse by its late former owners--I'm sure they had fun with it--but somehow managed to stay in the same family until recently. It's a true compound as described in a previous post and is now back in running condition. Hope to make a video soon.
