• 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

• 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.  
  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!
