Well all those videos posted by Blue Heeler Jim really set the hook and I had to get my hands on a new-in-box Marklin 16051. At least that was the excuse I gave my wife. Well, Jim is right, this engine is a real delight, runs perfectly right out of the box -silky smooth, powerful, gorgeous. Now if I could only get an even-more-precious Ozsteamdeamon chuff pot to go with it!
