Fleischmann 121/3 steam engine w/accessories
« on: October 01, 2022, 03:13:08 pm »
Hello fellow steamers
we have here a Fleischmann 121/3 overtype steam engine in good running condition, powering a few Fleischmann accessories. she runs very well & the flywheels run true. has original burner tray & Bakelite funnel. the year is around 1952 & is close to 70 yrs. old.

The Sausage Maker is a very cool accessory - mine does not
work as good.The drive wheel has a bit of zinc pest.
Your overtype engine runs very smooth indeed. Happy steaming!

Bruce, that was a pure delight!  ;D

That does seem quite powerful for a single-acting cylinder. Nice runner!

Very smooth low speed running especially for a wobbler. Thanks for the video.

They are I believe quite rare, only produced for about 2 years in the early 1950's.  I have one myself and it too is a delightful runner.  Nice to see another in action!

I am glad to have been regarded as a good influence Bruce - not something which happens too often!
