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

Please take a look to TexasSteam's Chanel - Scott made a nice video of Bing's 130/383
poppet valve engine. His engine is almost original in all details except that the color
of the platform "disappeared" -

Yours seams that the boiler/house has been placed wrong way - the platform originally
was wood with sheet metal top - the governor never existed on this model. The model
probably was restored in the mind of making a nice looking steam plant instead of
the original look. I also own a 130/383 wich had a lot of modifications - I have
restored it to original specification - but there is still a lot to do - mainly color.
I will post a picture from underneath to show you the piping of the model.

NB.It is a very nice steam plant with many features and one of Bing's top designs.
