Marklin electric motor running machine tools
« on: August 16, 2025, 06:39:31 am »
Decided to play yesterday and made a couple 'quick and dirty' videos. This little Marklin still runs great after over 100 years, but I need a longer lineshaft. The voltage regulator is by Bing and was made for their toy train sets.

That motor certainly is very Old Stylish and definitely has strong antique appeal!

Does a good job with an enviable collection of driven tools as well!!
