Markie Showmans Engine Model

[William YoungParticipant @williamyoung91043]

I have recently January 2nd. received what I have purchased from the UK what I believe is a 1 inch scale Markie Showman's Engine , I live in Florida , USA. I am not sure if it is 1/10th scale? Second , I am wondering what year it was built and thirdly if there are any printed instructions as to maintaining and operating the model? it appears that it is built to be spirit fired of some kind?

Sincerely , Bill Young

Hi Bill,

It is most likely to be 1/10th scale or more precisely 1 1/8 inch to 1 foot, though Markie also do a smaller scale. As to your other questions you would no better than to contact Markie themselves. Their website is on this link Markie Models

Thank You Gentlemen , The dimensions are : Overall length of canopy roof is 201/4 inches. Rear wheel diameter is 6 inches ( My model is missing the rubber wheels on the rear wheels). The distance from outside to outside of the rear wheels is 81/2 inches. With regard to a serial number where would I find that?

The serial number should be stamped on the boiler and is done when it was first tested. May be under a cover but has to be seen by the inspector who does subsequent certification checks.

The one on E-Bay currently you mention seems to be newer production than mine and about 550 pounds more expensive also.

[William YoungParticipant @williamyoung91043]

Does anyone have an instruction sheet for a spirit fired Markie 1 1/8 th inch Showman's engine that they would be willing to scan and E-Mail to me as I have zero documentation. mercguy1@aol.com

Thanks br , I checked on the E-Bay seller and he has it set up that unless you are a bidder you cannot contact him. The only ways to contact Markie is by phone ( too expensive oversees call ) or by mail. I will write him.
