Bing 10/120 or 70/120
« on: November 19, 2019, 07:36:01 pm »
A very nice Bing 10/120 or 70/120 that is a copy of the Weeden 14.

I forgot I had it. I found it in a cabinet when I was doing a little space management.

I have the original governor, but this replica works better. The replica came from:

https://classic-tin-toy-co.myshopify.com/search?page=1&q=Weeden

Original box, original instructions and the complete engine and burner.

The Steam Valve was horribly stuck (probably why I put it in the cabinet). 🤠. A few days soaking in penetrating oil was effective and I got it unstuck.

This one?

Very nice example.

I wonder where it ended up?

Not here as I think, I already have one  but a boxed one would have been nice

Lovely piece Charlie, have you steamed it at all?  I would love to see it running sometime.

[ Guests cannot view attachments ]   Super nice example you have.
 I also have a fairly nice Bing like this that came with it's box and on the box is 10/120/3. I did some research back when I acquired it and did find an article or some reference to the 10/120 model number. 
 The box is a hard cardboard that is very wood like with heavy staples.

Charlie, your 70/120 looks spectacular!


It is in wonderful condition. I always liked the dark frame with red pin striping.

Yep, that was a nice one!

I think Danny bought it and it is on the way to my house.  So, I will get to play with it before he comes and takes it back to Belgium.   ;D
