Marklin 4158 Compound
« on: September 03, 2020, 08:29:13 pm »
I bought this about 1979.  I was told it was found in a basement in a war torn German town by a GI.  The parts for a vaporizing alcohol burner and a generator came with it.  I have displayed it and run it just a few times. No chimney came with it.  Video on YouTube

Nice Find with a great story  8)

Would love to see the video, but the link doesn’t work. If the link works for you, you may have the video set to “private” or “unlisted”. I tried searching YouTube and couldn’t find it either...

Link leads to a 404 page, may not be complete?
If I had the storage space... And the money... I'd have a few more engines.

Nice runner. I was hoping to see the generator hooked up and working.

We’ll just have to nudge him till he treats us to another video  ;)  :D
