Thought you said you had been to Frank's website, then if so, how can you possibly say: "I don't think that is what my brother has - unless there are more than one Bing Clone."?

Please look at the lower lefthand photo.

Or maybe this will help you decide:

Weeden No. 14 Toy Steam Engine | National Museum of American History  americanhistory.si.edu

I was referring to Wayne's "Bing Clone" YouTube video - that my brother's doesn't look like it.  Conversely I believe Frank/you are correct that its a early Weeden and Dave is mistaken and sent me into a tailspin LOL
 
Now that photo, what a superb reference - thank you so much!

Yes, I understood that you were making that comment in reference to Wayne's engine, but by that time you had already been provided with conclusive evidence that your brother's engine was definitely a Weeden and not a Bing Clone, regardless of whether there were other Bing clone versions produced or not.

Sorry, just splitting hairs it seems!

That is a very nice #7 that your brother has, though the safety valve weight is actually a fishing weight I believe.
