Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

What a find today - from a private seller! Original wooden box with a Plank Model 118 ? steam engine with water fountain.
After a little cleaning and service oil/water I could already fire up the boiler. Very nice  is the fluted surface -
never seen before. The fountain pump is very efficient and the jet is about 25 inches high.
Unfortunately some paint is burned on the case and some loss on the water basin - otherwise the original paint is very well preserved.
It is a fun piece at all -ha ha ha

And here's my hot air version:
