Nice Marklin, was watching it but turned out too high for me... glad to see someone on the forum got it .
Did you get the burner with it? Looks on the picture as it's missing. The painting looks good, should cleanup nice.
I think it's a 4112/1 or 4112/2 from around 1902-1904.

Thanks for the help!
That 4112 number would make sense, because it looks like a smaller version of Steamman's Marklin:

I do not think there is a burner, but it sure would be a nice surprise if it arrived with one. If I was the seller, I think I would have paid that little extra for a couple more pics.
I had originally planned on bidding up to $750 on this one, but when I signed on it was already over $700.

I was lucky and Ebay helped me out! 
I won it for $910. I had a 10% off coupon and a $40.24 Ebay Bucks certificate, saving me $131.24! So, it ended up costing $793.76 (a little closer to my original max. bid)
I also earned $18.20 in new Ebay Bucks with the purchase. |

| Looking at the ebay pic again, I'm thinking the reason for 1 picture and the angle it was taken from, is that the sight glass may be missing as well. |

Great engine Nick, the Litho base is unusual for Marklins isnt it?

Looks like some kind of putty/cement to either seal (I'm guessing there is a center flue) or just to hold the chimney in place. |

I love that example of the Marklin 4112, Marklins with the tiled base are hard to find.
A simular version on a larger base was sold with a dynamo and lamp, model number 4112/91.
Looking forward to some more pictures, Marklins always get my full attention
