A previous owner had used the motor to convert a Clockwork O gauge locomotive to an electric powered locomotive with moderate success. Does any of you knowledgeable people know who the manufacturer was? John

John Hi John, I am confident that motor is originally from a Märklin loco, most likely an Electric outline model because there are no mounts for steam coupling rods. Take a look at this comparison on a CS66/13020, you can see very distinctive design similarities especially in the reversing lever design. The spoon pickups are also very similar to other Märklin styles, the number of spokes and the general high quality of it. Try doing a google search on "Maerklin spur 0" and select Images, you'll soon see plenty of examples. Hope this helps Steve NZ

From the image you have sent it would indicate that this is from a very early model. I now have to decide what to do with the motor. I do not have any vintage Marklin items that I could use it with or to repair. Happy New Year from Ireland. John
