Another new memberHello to all, I'm new here and think this is a very nice forum. My name is Ed and I have been retired for 11 years.I have 8 steamers that keep me occupied, from a Marklin 4097 to a Fleischmann 120/2. I very much enjoy this hobby and I think this forum will help me keep enjoying steamers. Regards..Ed |

sizeThanks for the welcome, I was told it's a 4097 the only number i find is on the firebox door that has a 6 stamped on it. |

Re: size
That makes it a 4097/6, the number on the firebox door tells you the size of the boiler. Which paint style is it? Is it like mine? (dynamo addition makes it 4097/91/6) 
or is it the later paint style?

Welcome Ed from Indiana, USA.
You might have "only" 8 engines, but we welcome folks with 1 to 101 (and then some). Hanging around this bunch is likely to grow your numbers, but maybe you are content with what you have and that is great too. |

Re: size
Around 1950's, this might help you out: http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org...a358217.php&highlight=#358217 |

Welcome to the forum Ed!
You've come to a great place for what is obviously already a personal passion. Some fine engines you have in your stable. Like the others, I look forward to seeing some of them in stills or videos! |
