Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Just won this Bing hot air engine at a local auction.  Based on the later Bing logo, I think it is from the later 1920's.
I won't be picking it up until later today, so I can't speak as to it's condition and functioning, but it looks OK in the auction Photos.

Does anyone know what model number it would be?

Looking forward to a video of this running Jim.

Thanks Charlie.  Thanks Jim, and Thanks Parallel Motion. 

I have Picked this up and it is my possession.  It is in fairly nice condition for its age but is going to need some work before it runs. 

I had to replace all of the wicks in the burner to give it a quick trial run, but no success there.  A lot of smoke pouring out from the cylinders around the pistons so I think a previous owner had maybe oiled the cylinders liberally and there is a lot of oil residue burning out.

Hopefully soon I will get it running and but up a video.
