Marklin R 4010
« on: November 09, 2021, 10:08:44 pm »
Heres some short video.  The burners do a flame burst first second, and we derail at the end.  This is very powerful engine actually performs better than the electrics do!  Had my other vertical marklin out but never timed the heatup correct and it wasnt ready

Thanks again skeptic49 for sharing model # with me.


My favorite part is the cow catcher.

This is on my oldest prewar marx track pulling a prewar lionel set that is already very heavy.  Also Gershwin record is playing in background.

Enjoy

For the layout lovers.  These are always temporary. Painters tape works really well.  Normally I run american flyer and it fits between the tracks. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

A cute layout, I must say!

And I know now that the Kuhfänger is a cow-catcher in English, one never stops learning :)  ;)

I add a photo of my R 4000 (sold some years ago). You will find some differences. I am not a Märklin loco expert, but I think that the change from central oiler (as in your R 4010) to two separate oiler cups is rather an indicator of production date (yours should be earlier) than establishing the difference between R 4000 and R 4010...

I will try to check this...

Thanks for sharing the video!

...well, yes, at first glance the main difference is the one between the cylinders working on the first axle (R 4000) and the second axle (R 4010). Stupid me... ::)

Great video! Love how you had the stationary in there too. Like Thomas I also have a 4000 somewhere in the shelves… (sorry about the annoying PB watermark)

You guys have such nice looking models i do enjoy the more complete painted ones.<br><br>

thanks for sharing parts of your collection, this is my second marklin [first was the 4116 vertical in video] and first live steam loco. I always wanted foward and reverse and dual wheel.  the american edition fulfills my wishes!  <br><br>

 I love the word for cowcatcher Kuhfänger  in german. I was arguing with a friend the other day it should be called a cow killer.  I told him a its a cow catcher and they used to put feather pillows up front for humane reasons.  he did not believe me. 
<br><br>
here is more footage from this morning.

Coffee and steam.  Its very strong. I need more cars to pull.

Paint is nice, but it’s also nice to have a fun runner that you don’t have to worry too much about damaging  8)  Your’s really puts out a good steam show out the stack  8)  and I do like the cow catcher

Watch ebay for cars, I “accidentally” won these on an online auction a few years ago and probably paid too much, but I love the covered one

Thanks for the video and the photos, Jason. What a great running loco!

Schiffmann's dates for the R 4000 are 1909-15, model 4000 1903-34 in variations.

Great looking cars.  I hate accidental ebay purchases, I should get my bid finger checked out!

I am hoping to have a matching american set, I found a 4 wheel tender for under $35 for it, for the time being, however, It is supposed to have a 6 wheel tender it seems.

I am interested in measuring its puling force, I think im going to get a luggage scale to try, this beast is strong!

Jim, thanks for sharing everything, Its definately a favorite of mine, as well , as its ability to run.  The oiler seems to work very well, however I could see why they would add a second one.  It doesnt seem to run out of oil, but I constantly need to fill the burner.  I used 50ml of water, and 25 ml of denatured, it takes aobout 5 min to heat up, then I have fun running for about 10 min.  I dont want to run it dry, doesnt seem to burn thru water fast, albiet the boiler is concave underneath, which was a huge suprise.

Its just annoying that the burner needs filling so often.  I am hoping to aquire the correct track, but, until now Ill use my old lionel or marx

Many thanks, Enjoy your day Jim!
