If anyone can help me find a Bing Nora, it would be greatly appreciated

I must ask...what is a big Nora ?

A vertical boilered engine from Bing, named “NORA” and can be seen above the firebox door.
A friend/mentor in the full size hobby lost his 3 year old granddaughter Nora this morning after a 21 month battle with brain/spinal cancer, so I’d like to find a decent/original to give him.

So sorry for your friends loss Nick.
And what an awesome idea.
I will be on the lookout for one. If I had one, it would be in the mail to you today!

I was able to find a Bing Nora for Nick and I hope to get it posted today.
It came from Germany on a Bin.
The flywheel was way out of true. I fiddled with it this weekend and got it working a little better.

I'm glad a friendly got it. Good one Charlie.
