Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

I decided to make restoration of the steam engine - but the Boiler and Platform made no sense to rebuild.
After disassembling I start with building a new Piston and Cylinder Cover from Bronze, Connecting Rod from Brass, Crankshaft
from Precision Steel. The slide rod then was soldered with Silver solder - that one was badly twisted and
broken apart. The molded platform was broken into 4 sections - I used s special metal 2 components glue
to fix it. The Regulator was only bend and could be straightened same as the Feed Water Pump and Steam pipe.
The Boiler used is from a Märklin 4058 Steamplant - unfortunately all Fittings were missing and the front cover was leaky
(overheated without water?) -After soldering I started to make all new Fittings according Märklin - Photos from Brass.
Also the complete chimney had to be rebuild. Yes, I have a workshop with a lathe and Milling machine!
All is then arranged on a wooden (oak) platform with a blued steel Border - and she runs again hopefully for the next 100 years....
enjoy the reborn 4058/4150 Märklin Steamplant! Happy steaming
