Those clockwork motors are stronger than I thought
Did it take you long to assemble the crane? Looks impressive lifting the engine.

Yes, it is very strong, also the gears do the rest
Oh, yes! It was not easy as the discriptions were very old with not much photos....but If you built it without the crane-turbing-mechanism it will be easier

Note also the boxes in the backgroung, all marklin pre-war meccano's...for sale soon

I love the size of the key on that motor, its massive.
It looks like you have a pretty good collection Marklin parts too.
