Bing O gauge live steam oscillator circa 1910
« on: June 28, 2023, 12:15:29 pm »
Here is my recently acquired Bing O gauge oscillator locomotive running on the St. Croix Railroad Highline. I estimate it made about 700 ft before running out of fuel. Had it not been for the errant whistle valve in the cab which kept flopping open, I think it could have gone another 200 ft.  Stay tuned.

Seems to run rather well actually.

Looking forward to seeing a better run once you've worked out the minor bugs!

Nice to see it running. Interesting multi-gauge railroad.
