Hello Arnold,

I found the video a few days ago also on the site of the auction house Hohenstaufen and immediately watched with gleam in the eyes. This is the hammer!

Needs more farther away pictures.

Very interesting machine. So not a production machine? More of a 1 off??

Marvelous Marklin!

It was a one-off or an experimental engine. The owner has several such engines that ended up with someone close to the Marklin family. There was a production model like this "false diesel" but with only two cylinders and a horizontal boiler.
