Very cool, Charlie!

I used to have a horizontal Marklin hot air engine, but I traded it for a Jensen! Go figure. 🤣🤣

I am sure you got a good trade.  :)

Very nice and rare Märklin - congrats Charlie - I only have the electric version
it is more comfortable but less fun.

This was a recent acquisition; and it has been on my bucket list for a long time.

It is in immaculate condition.  The only thing I did was change out the two wicks and oiled everything.

I just love the look of this hot air engine!

Here is a YT Short that I posted today:
