New Arrival
« on: January 18, 2021, 02:10:47 pm »
Got today a new engine (Internet Auction) Märklin - Model 4124/14/3395 - the famous
"Hammermaschine" - Year is marked 1908 - some Parts are not 100% correct
and I have to make the right size of an alcohol burner. Most of the black
color from the boiler is missing but it has a very nice Patina. The engine
has an impressive size of 24" length - boiler has 5,5" dia and the power
generator No.3395 is a heavy masterpiece. The self-starting 2-Cyl. engine
has been already started with compressed air. A real steam test the next days
and I will make a small video for sure.I forgot to say: my wallet has a hole in it!

Greetings Arnold ;D

Congratulations on this fine machine. I believe this model with the green speckled base may have had a steel blue finish of the boiler rather than the black painted boiler.

Today I had time to steam my new Steam Factory - we have a shutdown in Switzerland until End of February - so no official work at all! The Plant needed some tuning of all steam and water cocks and caskets - and the feed pump was blocked and calcified. All bearings got fresh oil and the cylinders some hot steam oil. The boiler gets ready in a very short time due to the
many pipes. Enjoy the video with low room light....

Wonderful engine Arnold. I also have one with a pattern base restored by a restoration artist.

Unfortunately, I have not steamed mine yet. Hopefully this spring when I return from the country.

That was lovely to watch Arnold , the ambient lighting was just right for this machine. I found myself wanting to watch more as the video was to short 😊 (guess I'll just watch it again)
