  Nice Bing Collection Charlie. I especially like the one front center with covered boiler. I have a smaller version but the base isn't as colorful.

Nice Charlie. Looks to me like a Marklin tried to sneak in the back row.

Well spotted! I see him hiding back there

Well then, wouldn't a Marklin be at least a second cousin once removed, so still part of the family in a way?

No, he's the Black Sheep of the family... Charlie, you have my address  ;) :D :D

Apologies. Operator error. The Marklin Family paid the Bing Family the Ransomware and the Marklin Family Member has been returned to the Marklin Clan.

Charlie, I gotta say that your Bing Beast has some perfect purple-blueing to the boiler  8) 8)

and it has such a nice and big inline oiler

Thanks for all the nice feedback.

Honestly, I didn’t know how many Bing engines I had. 🤠

Forced me to pull them all out and dust them. I moved things around and put them all together on one shelf in the Steam Cave.

So, the Bing Family has been reunited.

WOW CHARLIE!!  8) 8)

I have always wanted one of those Bings up front with the firebox that surrounds the boiler. I really like how they have the heavy cast tops on their stacks as well  8)  I almost went for one a couple weeks ago on eBay, but it did need some work (loose pieces) and I keep telling myself no more projects!  :D  The base-mounted engine however had some very nice paint/decals...

I always like your family portraits, Charlie. It feels like a homework assignment- see several I like, then rush to the books to find out what model it is and put them on my want list.
 Thanks for the awesome pics.

In advance of going to German in November for the Bing Museum Show, I pulled out all of my Bing Engines and took a Family Portrait.

This beast would not fit on the table. So, it got its own Portrait:

And here is the rest:

15 Family Members....so far. 🤠
