Here's my modest contribution. I'm not much into creating videos.
For the duration of the GPU permissions are not required to look at all of the high resolution photos for these toys (and any you might find on the home page).
I'm busy working on my next article for the website as the first one proved quite popular. Check out
From Elektro to Empire if you haven't yet read it.

Wow Bob, what a fine start for your table here at the GPU.
Been studying your Electro to Empire article and enjoy it very much. May I dare look forward to more of the same!?!?
The T&W and the Marklin are both wonderful exhibits to offer for our viewing pleasure, so THANK YOU for this real treat!
Very cool Bob!
I love the TW vessel. Has it ever been fired.
And everyone should check out Bob’s website.
The Elektro to Empire article is excellent.
Thank you for participating in GPU 2024.

Thanks Charlie and Stoker,
The TW has not been fired, and the crew, which really don't fit anywhere on the boat, did originally came with the boat.
I thought I'd throw one more on the table. This is the engine I use for navigation when I'm too lazy to turn the lights on. I believe it to be completely original.

I have never seen the Cranko No. 2.
Very minty.
All the way from way down under.
Beautiful boat! What is the size and type of engine! Oscillator?
I like the Märklin so much that I have somehow ended up with two of them here
And that Cranko! Check it out

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?

I really like Märklin engines. For the Märklin 4112/8, I noticed the valve linkage is very interesting. Is that a way to set steam cut off?
Good question, Chris.... and likely a very good guess!

Thanks for showing, Bob..!!!

That does not look original, but a neat, old modification.
Interesting! Like to see a video of its adjustment
