Got some tracks from ebay, so this was the first time i could make a nice little circle for my marklin.
Ran okay, but not really very good...
I think this is because it was the train alone, without tender or coaches
See video's

(sorry, first time i had to catch a loco with my new cam, normaly i only make video's of stationary engines )

.... wow, Mirko! Die läuft ja super! Runs like a charm, congrats, mein Freund! Is it possible to somehow regulate the speed?

Oh, and by the way: These 3 videos have a somewhat "X-File" charm, well done, mate!

'...Mulder, is this a Märklin?' - 'I'm not sure, Scully. It has fangs.'

No, unfortunately not at all.
That's why it is quite difficult to get it run propperly:
Too much steam and the loco will derail
Not enough steam ans it stops
