Seriously those are pretty cool especially the Marklin one, I really like that one, never saw that
style before.

Thanks Jan & Bruce

😂 Tom, I wasn’t trying to cause a seizure, was only trying to hypnotize you into sending me an engine or two ;) :D

Oh that's nice, yeah that's nice. The last time I felt like this I peed myself three times that day and
didn't know where I was for a week. Thanks a pant load.

You don’t need to know where you are, you just need to know my address :D

What a lovely setup, and a rare chance to see either of them going.

Thanks for sharing Nick!
I agree, very nice Nick.

Don't think I've ever seen a wheel for sale, and those leccy Marklins haven't seen many of those ever.

Pretty sure I had to get them off German ebay.

I also never knew Märklin used “El” in their electric model numbers till about a half an hour ago when I was looking at the old catalog pictures again, must have always read over it. I have had the El 4097/6 for years... will have to see if the heater works...

I like that colour wheel Nick.

Thanks Jim, I like it too ;) Think I have 2 of them here now

This boiler holds a ton of water and runs forever around 70 volts. I’ll have to run this setup side by side with my SPS Wilesco D455 El and a Wilesco color wheel...
