It is a nice engine, I see it has the servo arm too. I'm amazed that these were around when I was starting with mamods at the same time.

My engine is the maestro 060 rc version

Hello everyone

Almost 2 years ago I bought a used Merlin Beck Maestro at a live Steam meeting. The left side (control parts) had been repaired very improperly and had been supplemented with many self-made screws. Was able to use some parts from a used Maestro with a 32mm gauge and it runs quite well again.



From minute 1:22 in this video you can see the result of my renovation.

Greetings from Austria
Gerald ;)

Nice video that Gerald. Love the steamers that give us some enjoyable watch, and yours did. Thanks for posting it. :thumbright:
