Marklin "Fountain" for saleWell, actually it is a water mill.By turning the wheel, water gets pumped up so it flows onto the mill wheel AND the small trough gets filled with water 
The whole thing is used but in working condition. Has some small, minor rust spots and a spot on the roof without paint. 
I am asking somewhat in the area of 100 euro's Original Marklin driving model

how much you asking and will that mess in the bottom tray clean up easily or is it rust 
|
||||
| Nick |
Around 100 euros. |
||||
| pauly |
whats that in pounds and how much is postage to the UK |
||||
| Nick |
About 80 pounds, but I don't know what he wants for shipping.
It would be a very fun accessory. |

The rusty looking stuff is in fact rust 
No deep rust, only surface rust. Does looks worse on picture than it is in real. The house can be taken off if somebody wants to restore that, but i rather like it that way: little bit rusty but original... As i said, i also accept offer AROUND that sum (so if you like you could also offer me something like 70 or 60 GBP)

I tested it this weekend with a steam engine, and it didn't run well 
The water was not puped efficially enough..but can't say why.... Maybe i should oil the pump better next time?? Watertoys are always a bit tricky 
|

| Nick |
I hope it brings more than you want.

I hope I can get it working right. Any tips? I've never had a fountain. 
|
||||
| Nick |
I'm hoping this arrives soon, I can't wait to run it.
I'm also still waiting on a Fleischmann mill off ebay. Shipping takes too long for me.

Should arrive withing this week i thing
|
||||
| Nick |
The water mill has arrived.
It is a little bigger than I thought it would be. It didn't work at first, but I took it apart and got it working very well, just by cranking it with my hand. I can't wait to get it hooked up to a steam engine: You can kind of see the water coming out: 
|
||||
| Dampfzauberer |
Yes! It didn't work any more before i sent if off, but couldn't say why  All was okay....
Maybe the marble inside was stuck? Glad it works again!
|
||||
| Nick |
That's all it took.
|
||||
| Les Marsh |
Looks very nice.

There was another marklin watermill last week on german ebay.
In better condition, but also was sold for more than 120 euro's
So this one was a bargain
