Doll or Falk Lokomobil?
« on: July 12, 2021, 12:26:17 pm »
Back from Holliday and already on the hunt - got this one today
Guess it is a Falk 456 S with 11 cm Boiler and pump - but I am
not very familiar with this brand. The Burner has 3 heads and
a flap to ignite. It seem to be 100% complete and original - all
what is needed - clean up and test run.
More is coming - there where some more jewels...
Have a nice day, Arnold ;D

Hello Arnold,
once again a pearl that you have found there. I agree with you that it is a Falk 456 S, although the burner house has irritated me at first something.

I am already curious about the other treasures that you have announced.

For this new acquisition I congratulate (and am already envious again).

  Very Nice. The condition is as good as it gets.
 There might be a model number on the bottom of the base. More pic's please.  :)

Correct - I just found on the bottom of the cast iron base the marks:  J F 182
I am therefore sure that it is a FALK Mod. 456/4 S
I tried the engine with compressed air - it works perfect. Hope to make
a video with steam after cleaning.
Thanks, Arnold
