peol's table - Now finished -

Most of the collection is already available online, but I will try to run some engines during the weekend and show them here.
However, starting up with these parts that was found in my scrap bin some time ago...



The work is now completed and will appear here soon
colin

Wonder what's coming?????
peol

and here the pieces are running together

Roly Williams

Love it  
Swift Fox

That is fantastic Peter, what a great little accessory.  
peol

and now for some steam engines... starting with the Swedish ones


Horizontal and vertical engine from Vingakersboden (ca 1900), vertical and tractor from ADE (1950's) and the Alga John Ericsson (1970's)

Les

Wow, this weekend to save the least is going to be engine overload.
Swift Fox

Those swedish engines are very nice and the Vingakersboden runs a treat with the Stephensons linkage.
Sandman

What great pics and vids.

That pump looks exquisite.

Very enjoyable videos and the water pump is a masterpiece.

Mr Bing at work producing more steam engines?
Still going strong despite being over 100 years old...

Burnmafingers

Oooh, your water pump is simply divine
Steam engines aren't bad either!
Les

The Bing Grinder is a beauty indeed.  
Gary279

Oh Yes, fantastic!

...and now down to Nurnberg, home of Ernst Plank...



Big overtype from ca 1930, smaller overtype from 1920's, steam motor with cylinder built in to boiler from 1914, vertical engines from 1910 and 1895 and finally a lokomobile from 1914.

Video from a previous run
angus

Really splendid and I'm so glad Mr Bing could attend  
Sandman

What a beautiful well balanced engine.

That slow tick over clip was a joy to watch.
Les

That looks good and sounds great, and what an enviable lineup of engines you have there.
Gary279

Oh, I love that lokomobile!!!
sarfraz

That water pump works really well. I love the other engines as well, especially the Vingakersboden from 1900.
Steve_S

A fantastic collection, and the little pump is a beauty.
Celsius 100

A superb collection of Plank engines.
peol

Continuing the tour in Germany, now in the town of Württemberg and Märklin



Just had one of them running, will be uploaded soon...
In the meantime, here's an old run of the left vertical engine.

peol

The Märklin 402 in action, running by itself at the end

Les

Yet another one to behold.  
Celsius 100

Your 402 is simply gorgeous.A very high quality engine.

I totally agree, that water pump is ace!!

And finally in action from Märklin, the colorwheel and the waterfall.



Sandman

That Marklin is simply gorgeous.
magpie38

great table well done
Freespawn

wow great marklin engine and accsories
peol

Next stop, England. I don't have so many of the British made engines, but hope I can acquire some more in the future.




Stevens Model Dockyard with unknown boiler, Swan M1 from 1920's, Mersey from 1930's, Bowman from end of 1940's and Mamod from 1970's.

The Stevens in action from a previous run.


Coming up soon is the Mersey on steam...
Sandman

Great mix of engines there.

The dockyard runs a treat.
peol

It took some time to get this engine going, but after some adjustments of spring tension it finally started

Les

A wonderful little engine.  
Celsius 100

The Stevens and Mersey both running well.Am enjoying all your video treats.
peol

Another of the favorites is this Krauss & Mohr that I found a couple of years ago. The boiler, machinery and chimney was in good condition but the base was really ugly and the flywheels were painted in gold.

Les

What a beautiful old engine.    
Bugsy

Perfect videos as usual, Peter.
I love the waterfall!

Phil
Mamod58

Nice collection!
Sandman

Wonderful stuff.

I really like that  Krauss & Mohr  
scalex

A very impressive Bing collection.

Very nice Peter, that dockyard runs nicely too.
Dean W

Oh, that pump is just a darling.  Excellent work, Peol!
The 402...  What a beautiful piece of machinery.  All very nice!
flywheel61

  , Wow some really brilliant engines there - the pump is superb.

Cheers    

Chris
Albert.rivero

WOW, great engines and a wonderful display
peol

Back again after a good nights sleep, starting the morning with this Bing 9641 from ca 1902. It has a reversing level but really prefers going one way, it  hardly ticks over in reverse...

Sandman

Great to see the Bing in action, Peter.

Just my cup of tea mate.

Excellent video.
peol

The next Bing to go  before coffee time is this 130/511 with dynamo. (Don't know whay youtube did to the preview, but it looks terrible...)

Les

What a beatiful quite engine.  
peol

Thanks for all comments

Going on now with the Schoenner engines, one of them with the original box. Together with them is also a Karl Bub workshop.



Sandman

Another great video.

Wonderful engine and workshop as well.
yussufhippo

Amazing; I will take a day off next week and have a closer look at this treasure...
Thanks
Celsius 100

Another three delightful videos.The workshop is a real gem.
peol

The Carette engines. I'm not sure about the electric motor, but I think it could have been made by Carette. Btw, the electric motor is the power source for my accessories during this weekend

And yes, there's a hot-air engine there as well.

Les

  Your table keeps on astounding me.
magpie38

wow very very nice Carettes
Sandman

Those Carretes are stunning.

What a line up.
Burnmafingers

Yet more lovely items, and that workshop is an absolute treat  
peol

The last one of the Germans I'm showing on this table is from Doll, including a pretty rare turbine.
The stationary to the right is restored and all repainted as it once arrived as a piece of rust.



Just fired the vertical Doll 357/2 in the middle.


The turbine is an old clip, turn the loudspeakers up to eleven
Celsius 100

The 357/2 has a very pleasant tick-over and the 384/3 is certainly different from the norm.
peol

...and the show ends in the US with these two engines, a Frisbie from 1871 and a Weeden from 1941.




The Frisbie only running on air as it's not steam proof.



Thanks everyone for all comments and for a great weekend with so many nice tables, and also a great oppurtunity to fire up some of the engines.
Now I will sit down and enjoy the rest of the show, there's so much to catch up.
Freespawn

wow some great vids and wonderfull engines
