Congratulations!
Two wonderful old German engines, a Bing and a Doll&Cie. The Doll two-cylinder should be a very good runner, fascinating with its valve gear in motion. And in this layout, with two separate cylinders, quite rare.

OMG I am soooo jealous - I dream of going to a garage sale and finding engines like that.

What a sweet score, I hope we see them running in a video!

I bought these at a garage sale over 35 years ago. The owner had a hobby shop and the basement was full of things that he had from the store when he retired. I steamed up the big one 1 time when I first got them
