This very unique Bing steam engine was originally designed for a pre-heater mounted on the chimney to pre-heat the feed water. Fittings include a feed water pump, the dynamo, a switch for turning the electricity generated off and on, a whistle, a weighted safety on the steam dome (the weight is missing), waterglass, and imitation brick firebox and chimney. There has been a minor repair to the feed water line connection. It has a very nice cast furnace door. Faux tile sheet metal floor over a wood base that is well worn. Some paint scorching to the end of the firebox. Good to very good condition. A hard engine to find.
Item Dimensions: 16" x 13". Base: 14".
