Title: 1904 BING Lokomobile 10/118/2

Since the CARETTE 691/1(P) overtype is going to be a bigger construction site, I first brought the poor abused and damaged BING 118/2 locomobile back to life...

[attach=1]

Bent parts straightened, huge wrong flywheel replaced,

[attach=2]

PETROMAX pressure gauge swapped for safety valve, sprocket and chain fitted,

[attach=3]

new steam supply line bent, chimney borrowed from my BING 130/36

[attach=4]

There are still a few things to be replaced and improved, but for now it's standing back in its old glory...

[attach=5]

Now I will need to find a 21mm chimney, a 85mm flywheel, a vapor line with oiler, a pipe ...

...and as there is no door, does anyone know what kind of burner was used for it...?
