Maerklin 4097/6 ELECTRIC PLUG
« on: March 07, 2021, 02:36:28 pm »
Had some time today in the workshop and made a Plug for
my Maerklin 4097/6 - because I gave up to find one within
the next 100 Years. I used Delrin 35 mm Bar Stock and
Brass for the connecting pins. It worked without a short
circuit ;D with 110 and 220! Ha Ha
But good 3 hours on the Lathe and Milling machine!
It doesn't looks bad...
Happy Steaming Arnold

Beautiful work on the plug.  Mine, not so - but it works.
I wouldn't let anyone else use it, as it is.

Too bad the engine, not the original, is a bad
leaker - too much blow-by from the cylinder.
I hope to find a replacement engine, someday.

Good Luck,
Wayne

Nice work Arnold! If I hadn’t just received one of these cords this past week, you’d be getting an email from me begging for one  :D

That looks as good if not better than what an original probably did. Beautiful work Arnold.
Now that I know where to find a plug I can add some electric German engines to my list. ;D

Great job, Arnold..!!

I'd say 3 hours machining was time very well spent.
Even more satisfying than finding the original.
