Never seen a Bing with that sight glass, hope it stays sealed for you  ;)

Chunky looking cylinder and the steam valve is a bonus not on many of the smaller engines. It sure is nice to have, not only for speed control, but you can add oil mid-steaming too. Good looking base color too  8)

Very nice. Ernst Plank also used this type of sight glass on some of their early engines. You are lucky it is well sealed--they are a nightmare to remove and reseal if leaking.

 


I'll bet that site glass would be hard to redo, very lucky indeed.
A very nice engine and a smooth runner. Congratulations Arnold.

Got this nice little Bing today. New for me is this kind
of sight glass. The engine runs both directions and has
a steam valve. The burner has two wicks and is of simple art.
It came complete with cup, funnel and instruction manual.
I already made a steam test - all perfect.
Have a nice day, Arnold ;D
