• In advance of going to German in November for the Bing Museum Show, I pulled out all of my Bing Engines and took a Family Portrait.
  
  This beast would not fit on the table. So, it got its own Portrait:

• I always like your family portraits, Charlie. It feels like a homework assignment- see several I like, then rush to the books to find out what model it is and put them on my want list.
   Thanks for the awesome pics.

• WOW CHARLIE!! 
  
  I have always wanted one of those Bings up front with the firebox that surrounds the boiler. I really like how they have the heavy cast tops on their stacks as well    I almost went for one a couple weeks ago on eBay, but it did need some work (loose pieces) and I keep telling myself no more projects!    The base-mounted engine however had some very nice paint/decals...

• Thanks for all the nice feedback.
  
  Honestly, I didn’t know how many Bing engines I had. 🤠
  
  Forced me to pull them all out and dust them. I moved things around and put them all together on one shelf in the Steam Cave.
  
  So, the Bing Family has been reunited.

• Nice Charlie. Looks to me like a Marklin tried to sneak in the back row.

  Well then, wouldn't a Marklin be at least a second cousin once removed, so still part of the family in a way?

• Charlie, I gotta say that your Bing Beast has some perfect purple-blueing to the boiler 
  
  and it has such a nice and big inline oiler
