Hi Steamers - just bought this nice Märklin Steam Plant 4158. This is the smallest one that has a Boiler of 7 centimeters.
I like the compact design of this size. The Burner has a special displacement of two different Heads. The Dynamo seems to
be original too - but it looks too small. I do also have a 4158/11 which is a very impressive big engine with a big Dynamo.
The Märklin arrived with the original wooden box and complete accessories. I think it is very rare today to find such a perfect state.
This Märklin was never treated badly...
and made already a first run - excellent!
How old is this Engine? Production could be around 1930 - Who knows more???
I cannot help you guess the age .... but I can certainly agree with you, that is one incredibly beautiful machine in seemingly immaculate condition, for any age that it may actually be!
Truly LOVELY!!!
Very nice looking engine.
Beautiful engine, very high on my “want list”
