• I'll throw my hat in the ring... Marklin 4149/9. Missing sight glass but otherwise looks unmolested.  Nice.

• Agree with Scott. To confirm provide a few measurement.
  
  Size of base.
  
  Diameter of Flywheel.
  
  Diameter and length of boiler.
  
  If he decides to sell it, ask him to offer it on the Forum! 🤠

  I don’t actually know the owner, but I’ll try to find out if it will be available.

• From it proportional size to the owner this is either a 4149/5.5 or /7 at max

    I agree with this model number. It has a separate drain valve on the boiler which the larger boilers like a 9cm had. A 7cm didn't have a separate drain valve.
