Ach, Arnold, a painter's roll will do nicely!
Or dunk it in a basin...

STOP, we have seen enough horrible examples lately - let's keep this one as it is!

Will you run it?

Is there an English word for the equivalent of "speechless" when you are unable to type properly because your jaw keeps dropping down on the keyboard???

Wonderful!

I bet, Arnold, you have already bought two cans of stovepipe-silver in order to improve this austere engine aesthetically...  ;)

Thomas - you just named it - my stovepipe-silver and a good brush is ready - or should I leave them in that state -  ;D  ;D  ;D  Arnold

Very nice Marklin Lokomobile. I have the 4159/94/11 twin cylinder. These are some of the unique superior Marklin design quality machines.



Congrats to the 11 - maybe one day I will get one, Thanks Arnold
at least I have the 4158/11 ;D

When you get the 11, you can send this one here  ;)  :D

I didn’t think you could top the others... but you’ve done it!!

Yes - my eyes are open for the 11 - but I don't have your adress >:(

Arnold ... this has been quite the amazing journey through your unbelievably AWESOME recent acquisitions. Each and every one would be the top showpiece of most peoples collections, but you managed to bring home all nine in one fell swoop!

I offer you my most humble and sincere CONGRATULATIONS, on what must be several dreams come true all at once!!!

Thats a true word - many dreams came true at once, Thanks

I am just enjoying looking at the pictures you have shown. There are worse ways to spend the evening. Really a great show you have given us in the last few days.

Really great cinema 😃👍

Thank you Juergen - it was a pleasure to show them all

Congratulations Arnold.

This one is in very nice condition.

Like Mike, I also have its big brother the 4159/11/94.  Mine came from Gil who restored the base.  He has a wonderful series of videos on the restoration.

I have seen all the videos yet Charlie - and I know that you have the 11 !!! They are pretty much hard to find - maybe one day - who knows - Cheers Arnold

Finally Number Nine - Maerklin 4159 - which was available with 7 or 11 cm Boiler Size.
This is the smaller one and I was on the Hunt for more than a decade. It is in an all original
Status and came with the el. control board and the Genny. For me it is the BEST of
the nine - and there is nothing more to say...
Arnold ;D  ;D  ;D
