Interesting! Like to see a video of its adjustment
I can’t help you there, but you can see an original in this video with closeup around 3:30

That reversing mechanism on the vertical Marklin was definitely added by a previous owner.
I like the Märklin so much that I have somehow ended up with two of them here 
And that Cranko! Check it out @Scorpion2nz
Ouch Nick
Not sure what I am supposed to say about the Cranko
Except it is not original condition
Cheers

Dennis:
Do you have any pictures of what an original should look like?

Hope this works

Thanks, Dennis. At one time I was worried that it was a reproduction. The box is a perfect fit, but doesn't have any factory markings. My fears diminished when I discovered the stamped logo on the firebox. It's not easy to see without sunglasses. I wasn't sure what production changes might have been made towards the company's end -- to save money. There just aren't many pictures of these on the web. That said, there is this No. 2 I discovered that you likely know about.

Beautiful boat! What is the size and type of engine! Oscillator?
It's a Wilesco engine, but not one of their standard marine engines. It is an oscillator, which you can see if you follow the link above the picture. The boiler is probably the same size as in the D48, but I haven't measured it. The boat is fairly large -- a little over 2 feet long.

Yours will be an original from Donald Cranko workshop.
Stamped Cranko inside a Diamond . Earlier engines have Cranko NZ. ( no diamond )
When Cranko closed down some of his parts ended up in Auckland at the “ Auckland Model Engineers “ . They assembled horizontal and vertical used a different darker green and paper label.
The one you showed in the steam bible has been fiddled with .
Did you look at the link i did with the -photos of my two in original used condition
Cheers

These two engines by Graham Heavey, a vertical and a horizontal, seem to have many of the same parts, such as the frame. That was another reason I had been concerned that it was a reproduction. Are these the engines you're talking about?

Those two engines by Graham Heavey will look similar to Cranko as they made using Cranko parts .
I know Of Graham and he has some how acquired Cranko unused parts and has boxes of parts under his house and every now and again he makes a couple of engines and sells them .
Any way
These two here are play worn Cranko un altered

Lots of great information.
Thank you Dennis!
Soooo much to be learned from so many knowledgeable people here!

Thank you for posting your pictures. I had looked at them. In fact I think I remember seeing the engine with the bent-metal frame some time ago, not sure where.
