Bing 130/322
« on: January 20, 2024, 08:18:34 am »
I'm finishing up plumbing design and installation on this large twin cylinder Bing marine engine from 1909-12. It came to me without its original boiler and base. I mated the engine with a large boiler and installed both on a wood plinth with a tin litho sheet under the engine. The video shows it running on air.

Jim, that is impressive setup! [ Guests cannot view attachments ] I really like the litho plate on the wood plinth.

I also like the little enclosed gearbox to run the governor.

No doubt that impressive boiler will have it's work cut out for it!

that is a quality looking bit of kit there Jim. I probably wouldn't have noticed the enclosed gearbox on the governor till Paula mentioned it, but I really like that as well.
