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…

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.

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 ;D

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

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

It think it's Doll; probably Model 308.

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

Thanks in advance for your time.
