Instead of shoveling snow
I decided to steam my Märklin 402 - i just have finished the ROKR Marble run
Hand crank replaced by drive wheel
 




I could run it faster - but the ROKR has no bearings and wood on wood is not
the best solution... Enjoy and a happy day to all

Beautiful scenery, fresh snow is the best. Great video, a lot going on there with the line shaft and all.
Thanks for sharing.

Well, Arnold, there's one advantage of this combination is, that - once the bearings are worn out - you can use the wood as fuel for the Dampfmotor...  :D

Great video, I’ve got a wooden marble machine that’s been waiting quite awhile for me to put together and belt up to an engine...
