I always think of the nostalgia when I run one of these old engines......amazing the stories they could tell and there travels they have been on and will continue to travel - cheers Jim :)
Great engine, great video. Thanks! That was a good idea to cover one of the burners. At the end you had to stop the engine which after more than a hundred years of age still wanted to keep on running ... 😉👍
Thanks SD, I was happy the simple idea of the aluminium foil worked so well. Two burners was just too hot for this lovely old lady. Always amazed at these beautifully made German engines.
Thank you kindly...I really like your videos and watch each one. Our school system is not as great and a second language is unfortunately rare, unlike most Europeans. I would dearly like you to enable closed captions in your videos so I can enjoy them even more.
Amazing Alan the workmanship that went into these. I often thing were these for young boys or for men? It must have been a very wealthy family a hundred years ago to put one of these under the Christmas tree. I wish I could have more of them, importing these into Oz is pretty exorbitant.
A nice engine there Jim . Early German overtype Are the pinnacle of the toy steam .especially when they have all the bells and whistles. I keep looking at my Bing overtype and thinking i should run it . The one burner run is a big improvement Cheers Dennis
Cheers Dennis, the two burners are just so hot and it's hard to watch an old girl get beat up running so hard. The aluminium foil worked a treat. Get that Bing overtype out and grab your camera and make a vid.....would really like to see it. P.S what a shame these wonderful German engines are just so expensive for us downunder mate.
@@SteamEngines-Jim Yes, they are Jim. I collect almost exclusively Doll and Fleischmann machines. It is amazing what Doll has produced in the almost 40 years of their existence.
@@juergen.hamers Juergen they really are exquisite engines along with Marklins. Just amazing the quality of workmanship and detail that they produced in so many configurations. Always I think were these for boys or 'grown men'? They would have been pricey engines back in their day as they still are now.
@@SteamEngines-Jim They were probably meant for boys from the age of 10 and most of the engines could only be afforded by people with high incomes for their children. A simple worker could only afford a small, very simple machine. He then had to work a whole week for it. And only for that. That was in the 1920s/1930s. Before that, things were even worse.
@@juergen.hamers yes that's my thoughts it would have been a very well to do family that would have been able to afford a high end steam engine model. Amazing the history behind our engines. I am just putting together a video of the history of a little Weeden steam engine.
How fantastic is this? 100+ years ago this engine made some lucky child smile, and now you've shared it with us, making us all smile! Very well done!

Absolutely beautiful engine, could watch all day long.
Thanks David, these old German engines really are things of beauty.

That is a truly beautiful model.
Thanks :)
A very lovely engine Jim 👍👍👍 I always think that there something very elegant about German model steam engines. Cheers, Alan.

A beautiful machine. I like it very much. I have the smaller 510/2.
Juergen soon as you mentioned your 510/2 I had to go and watch the video. Aren't these just wonderful engines.
