Watertoys are always a bit tricky

I hope I can get it working right.

Any tips? I've never had a fountain.

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.

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:

Maybe the marble inside was stuck?

Glad it works again!

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
