These are the only pictures I have that came from the auctioneer's website.
 
It is getting crated for shipment now so I will put up some
good pictures after it's arrival and a little clean up.
 
I arranged for the auctioneer to call me when it came up for the hammer and let me bid live over the phone.
(I was in Vermont and the auction was over 700 miles away)
 
It is a very large one. For size reference,
it is sitting on 3 five gallon buckets.

Hi Gil,
 
You got yourself a Marklin 4158/11 with the old style horse shoe dynamo. That is identical to the one that sold at Klaus second auction for 10K + commission.
 
I have one of these and they are the largest Marklins available
 
You did very well. Enjoy.
 
Mike
