Marklin 4105/5.5 first steamup
« on: November 28, 2022, 01:15:53 pm »
  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
