Vinatge Steam Engine to IDENTIFY

I am looking to identify this steam engine. I was thinking Bing or Doll Or Ernst Plank?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Just guessing here, but isn’t the square/circle pattern for the firebox vents from Bing?

Thanks Nick. A bit of a Newbie but you are likely correct as the chimney cap is the same on several bing engines I searched on the net. You would know the model number by chance?

Thanks for your reply

I think it is a Bing 10/14/1 - but the Chimney looks more
like Doll - so it is probably replaced - maybe someone else
knows more...

Greetings and Welcome to the Forum, Arnold

Welcome also from Germany. I agree with Arnold on the destination of the machine. Only with the chimney I am relatively sure that it comes from Falk. The crown looks somewhat different on Doll. Similar, but a bit different.

I tried zooming in, but with the overpaint it is hard to see the brick pattern… An easy way to spot a Falk chimney/firebox is to look for an English bond brick pattern.

Here’s an example of one of my Falk fireboxes showing the brick pattern. Does your chimney match this?

And if the engine is a Bing, I am guessing it may have had the piston (maybe more) replaced with Doll/Fleischmann looking at the rounded big end…
