•   I just received this engine today from an ebay offering
  put up by Robin.  It is missing some bits but it is clean
  and runs well.  I do wish it had a throttle.  All things
  considered, I'm very happy.

    If anyone has the bits I need send me a note
  
  Happy Steaming,
  Wayne

•   After further research, the boiler is 5 1/2 cm but the slide
  valve makes it, I think, a 4106/5.5.  The 4105's I saw were
  all oscillators.  Am I correct?

  This is a Maerklin 4107/5 1/2 from 1909 with sight glas and drain cock.
  Value is from 80 to 400 depending the condition. After 1919 this size was
  discontinued. They only made 6 1/2 and bigger with fire door.
  Very nice vertical and when completed a good collectors item.
  Congrats, Arnold

•   Well, this is a slippery character to identify.  4107/5 1/2 is not on Robin's list
  of engines.  Is there an online database of Marklin steam engines?  If so, clue
  me in.

  Best informations from "Schiffmann" Volume 21, 22 and 23
  21/22 will be reprinted in 2023

  If you like I can make a photo from your Maerklin model
  and there is a website from Austria: https://www.dampfspielzeug.at/maerklin-stehende-dampfmaschinen/maerklin-4107-5,5.html
  It is a newer model without nickel ring on the top of the boiler.
  Greetings, Arnold

•   Guys, thanks for the replies.
  
    Arnold....I've added a few pix.  The badge is raised and nickel plated
  as is the top band on the boiler. 
  
    Now, I have to hunt for the sightglass hardware, a whistle top, and the
  smokestack.  Knowing the exact model will make that more efficient.
  
  Happy days,
  Wayne
