That's a nice catch, indeed! A very peculiar engine with the reversing mechanism.
Another great addition to an already unbelievable collection...
-
Great condition for it's age. Good catch!

To Wayne:
Where have you bid for this engine?
I bought it in Switzerland - Platform: www.ricardo.ch
By the way - it was no bargain - but the market determines
the price. Sometimes you are lucky....
-
I like that one!! 😍
-
It's in good hands now. Very nice Arnold, congratulations.
-
Lovely addition Arnold.

I think I know this engine. I think it was from a
recent auction? I was one of the bidders and I wanted
it for this one engine, but my $$$ are limited. I'm
trying to collect single/twin pairs, like in SEL, Mamod,
and J Comby all of which I've already put together.
A Bing-Wolf single to match my Bing-Wolf twin will be
a really hard find. The Empire and Jensen twins are too
rich for me, Weeden twin, really rare. And, I missed
a Bowman 158 that went, in England, for about $85 with
the box. It would have looked nice next to my Bowman
twin.
Anyway, nice catch and glad to get a close-up view of
it running. I should have bid more.
Congratulations,
Wayne

Great catch, Arnold...!!

That is in outstanding condition Arnold, I don't believe I've seen a reverser quite like that one.
Very nice , thanks for sharing with us.

Hello again - got a new Steam Plant today - small but very cool
it is a very rare Bing 130/222 from around 1910. The special is
the reversible handle of the self starting two cylinder engine.
This engine came completely - Burner, Smoke Stack, fittings and
Water level - all perfect. Very nice little engine - enjoy
Happy steaming - Arnold ;D
