Geezo Nick, you sure have a lot of engines I've never seen before. Never seen a Bing with gearing like a Bowman.

Love the miniature mushroom head burners.

They have at least 3 of these Bowman look-a-likes. I was trying to find the single, but guess I got stuck with the twin  :D

Oh, I like twins, Like the Johnson sisters, ooooh.
If you posted this engine without the stack and Bing emblem on
the firehouse, I'd of never guessed Bing. Have a couple of Falk's
with the gearing for the water pump, never seen that on a Bing.
Good one Nick, keep it up, just 294 days to go.

Well Daniel that was from along time ago and a place far far away.
Ran in to one a couple of years ago and now it was like ooooh noooo,
and I'm sure she thought the same about me. :D 
Heck she don't hold a candle to that three legged Buckman, and it
has a more even patina.
Nice engine Nick.

That Buckman somehow rather reminds me of the Sphinx in Egypt!

I love the cork stopper in the Buckman.  Epitomizes keep is simple for a safety valve!
