Very impressive Engine. I love those Märklins. Just one tip: Don't oil the engine's pistons tooo often because there often comes up very much compression when you activate the engine (especially Wilescos have this problems) you can also oil the engine during heating up so you don't have so much time to wait and doing nothing...
And-please-keep on making videos. They are so nice!
-
Ah, you were referring to the running gear. I prefer a lighter oil as steam oil tends to gum up on the cold-running parts of the engine.
-
Yes. That is steam oil I am using in the video.

Keep in mind the simple physics of pressure, vaccum and the effects it has on water's boiling point. Water boils at 212 F. For each PSI over atmospheric pressure, it will raise the boiling point 3 degrees F. Example: at 5 PSI the boiling point will be 227 F. 10 PSI would = 242 F and so on.....very nice engine too!

Wonderfull engine..beautifully made-thank you for showing this.

Hi Calypso
We could assume the boiler temperature is 100 c. So all we need to do is measure how much water the engine uses per hour or per half hour and calculate.
-
Anyone can correct me if i am wrong please!
-
1 boiler horsepower = 9809.5 watts
So you need to measure the temp of your water - should be boiling at 100c
next need to measure how much water the boiler uses per hour
Then we can calculate it using the formula

Not made any more, I'm afraid.
Produced in 2004 with a very short production run.
They sometimes appear on eBay and go for about 1,000-1,500 Euros.

I read somewhere that the water pump should never be run dry for extended periods. I have now set up a small water tank to provide a continuous recirculation of water through the pump.
