Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Nick: That engine is too nice to part out. Very lucky to get it! I like the original patina.

For Bing bases, does a metal base vs wooden base denote different years or was it dependent on model?

With the BW logo, clearly it's a later one. But I have some wood based ones with the same logo.

I don't have any plans of parting out, just meant that it had plenty of good parts to far exceed the hammer price 

Unfortunately I am not very knowledgeable on Bing model numbers or years, and only have a few catalogs...

I thought I had it's wreck of a twin brother here on the shelf, but I took a look just now and that one has a cast engine base and looks like a longer boiler without the steam dome. Guess I have to keep them both now
