1904 BING Lokomobile 10/118/2
« on: April 16, 2022, 10:52:45 am »
Since the CARETTE 691/1(P) overtype is going to be a bigger construction site, I first brought the poor abused and damaged BING 118/2 locomobile back to life...

[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Bent parts straightened, huge wrong flywheel replaced,

PETROMAX pressure gauge swapped for safety valve, sprocket and chain fitted,

[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

new steam supply line bent, chimney borrowed from my BING 130/36

There are still a few things to be replaced and improved, but for now it's standing back in its old glory...

Now I will need to find a 21mm chimney, a 85mm flywheel, a vapor line with oiler, a pipe ...

...and as there is no door, does anyone know what kind of burner was used for it...?

Nice work on a fine old model.
