Now you are getting into old toy train ephemera, Nick, this being Bing about 1910.  I have half a dozen of this ilk on my layout. If this grabs your attention, you should check out skeptic49's you tube videos of his layout!

@Inge, I have seen plenty of his videos and like other’s layouts but have no interest or room to build one of my own! I do have about 2-3 dozen Bing/Märklin/other German o-gauge locos. This was purchased to go with one of my Bing poppet valve engines.

Day 331 didn’t need a second white mixer (dirty one), but it was cheap and had a neat sticker underneath:

I really like this lamp, Nick. its so dainty & fragile looking, the fact that it survived in this condition is amazing.

Interesting, does it struggle to maintain enough steam to run consistently?

On a windy, cold April morning when it was filmed, yes… inside the house, no 😆

I also had a smaller fire going to keep from damaging the paint. And I didn’t want the wings flapping too fast because I can’t fly and I’d never be able to catch it if it took off 😂

I wish they would have made the mouth or tongue move, have it do a little something more… oh well, the kids like it 😆
