 |

Well, 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

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)
