Possibly Bing no 130/381- help identifying appreciated, please.
« on: October 23, 2020, 08:39:38 am »
Help on identification appreciated but think it may be a 130/381?   1910- 1920 period?

Boiler is 7cm diameter and poppet valve engine with a flywheel diameter of 109mm

Base appears to be totally incorrect, it would be good to get the correct base dimensions, as worth restoring.

I believe the chimney has a water tank built into it .

this looks a lot like one of my earlier steam engine purchases. does yous have the gear driven water feed pump that can be dis-engaged?
i never have gotten a proper model i.d., so cant help there, but you have an early steam plant and very rare Bing permanent magnet generator.

Thanks for posting video.

The drive cog has a boss and is pinned  through  the shaft  so permanent and looks original.
