Well now Bob, that photo was from clear back in 2011, but I actually had the Falk reassembled shortly thereafter, with the needed repairs and new sight glass made as seen here:

For some strange reason, I have always liked that photo of it laid out in disassembled sub-assembly groups .... but I guess few others share my tastes!?!?!?  ;c)


 That is a cool photo of all the parts. I found myself looking it over a couple times.

Nice one Bob ... a real beauty and a deserving winner!!!

But I just can't quite figure out how you managed to squeak past my "Disassembled Falk" in the late going like that?!?!?    ;c)


  Put that Falk together if you haven't already ?

I also had an entry in the contest but in all honesty your model is exceptional and fully deserves the first place this month.
It will be a pleasure watching it as a banner every time I visit the forum.


 Thank you very much. I've always like this engine so when Gil put out the call I looked in an old cabinet that's 2 feet from me and grabbed this engine. I've never Fired it mostly because of the Japanned finish, but I might ? It does look like its was fired before. It's just a simple engine with no pump or governor but has clean lines and the condition is fine. The Japanned boiler is what make it with the fine lines trimming it.

Bob, I do believe you are correct on the date and model number (if you have a 9cm boiler)


 I just measured it and it is 9cm. I saw it dated in the Dampfspielzeug book on page 63, it didn't show the model number but a good picture that's a match and the date of 1907. The book is in German so I didn't translate the text.
 Thanks for you help, Nick

Congrats to the owner of the Märklin!!

Does anyone know the model number of the engine?


  Thank you!  It's my engine. I looked for a model number before sending it to Gil with no luck. I did find a 1907 Mfg. date. I think it's a 4122 but need to confirm.
  Yes, 4122-9


  I'm not 100 percent sure of the 4122 model number so if anyone has a catalog or knows what it is please let me know ?

Thanks Bob, I assumed it was yours and have added your name. I may have a catalog that it’s in, will check later tonight...

 
 OK, Thanks.

I see about ten that I would like on my shelf. :)

Haha, I guess you are right there... But one of these is already on my shelf, and I have most of the brothers to the LS-LOC (been searching for the Crampton for ages). The “puzzle” would be very neat framed and hanging on the wall, but I would be better off not adding it to my collection as it would probably go in a box and stay how it is  :D  That “Buckman/Holly” is a very neat old piece, but Märklins always steal my heart 😍

The Holly appeals to the engineer in me
The kit set appeals to the puzzle side of me
The LOC appeal to the miniature side of the model maker
The Marklin and KMV  are nice

So i have narrowed it down to three !
How many votes am I allowed?
