Got my very nice Plank steam plant today. It is the little brother
from our member Jim "skeptic49". It has an excellent condition and there are
no issues or repair. I already have tested with compressed air
and will soon make a live steam video. Colors of the platform are still
good looking so I guess that this engine was stored at a perfect place.
Even the manometer works with the integrated safety valve.

That is very nice, Arnold. Yes, it looks like a smaller version of the engine I recently acquired, redstored, and posted about. Yours is certainly in excellent condition. I think that the number may be in the 2166 series. See Schiffmann, Band 22, p. 188.
Can you post or send me a close up photo of the face of the manometer? Thanks in advance. Jim

I will post a picture tomorrow. The Schiffmann has no measurements and very few info for the 2166 - also the values that are declared are a joke - nobody would ever sell such a rare engine under 500 - my opinion. It is a heavy and quality engine and can not be compared with Bing/Doll smaller engines.
Another very well-kept antique steam engine Arnold, I like the throttle wheel in the steam line, I wonder why steam engine makers don't do this more often. will be waiting to see the video.
Jim - here a photo of the manometer/sv - I hope it works for you.
Have a nice day,
Arnold

Thank you very much, Arnold.
Wonderful, how nice are the bases on these old engines.
Gosh Arnold, that is drop dead gorgeous, and complete. Love everything about it from the colors to the design.
Excellent shape, excellent find, congrats.
A great steam plant and in outstanding shape.
I've always been fond of the early toys and happy to have a number of them.
