Hi I bought this steam boiler, engine combo on Wednesday at an auction in Lancaster Co. I thought that it was a Carrette model, but I could not find it the Carrette catalog.
It has some interesting features like the water recovery pump and the steam oil reservoir in front of the cylinder. I would like to know anything that anyone can tell me of it's age and who manufactured it.
It is a quality unit by the way it is built and the features it possesses.
I had it running and it runs great with a good control of speed with the speed control in the steam chest. The only problem that I found is a slight H2O leak at the water level sight glass ( I'll see to that at a later date.
Again, any info would be greatly appreciated..... Barry Navarre
You have a Märklin, I’d have to look up the model number to be sure, but someone might beat me to it
Hi Barry, Your burner is missing the vaporizing burner top. These can sometimes be found on German ebay. There is also a fellow named Rob Vanderborn and he makes repros of these burner tops. Hopefully he still makes them.
