Thanks Jim, I like it too  ;)  Think I have 2 of them here now

This boiler holds a ton of water and runs forever around 70 volts. I’ll have to run this setup side by side with my SPS Wilesco D455 El and a Wilesco color wheel...

Don't think I've ever seen a wheel for sale, and those leccy Marklins haven't seen many of those ever.

Pretty sure I had to get them off German ebay.

I also never knew Märklin used “El” in their electric model numbers till about a half an hour ago when I was looking at the old catalog pictures again, must have always read over it. I have had the El 4097/6 for years... will have to see if the heater works...

Oh that's nice, yeah that's nice.  The last time I felt like this I peed myself three times that day and
didn't know where I was for a week.   Thanks a pant load.
