There are several members that have reprints of old Bing Catalogs maybe one of them will find it.

Thanks Guys,

The curiosity is really getting to me now. Is it definitely a bing ? I have been searching the net for days and cant seem to find a photo that identifies it. Anybody else able to help ?

I'll have a look in my repro catalogues when I get home, but I get the impression that it's a later model and my cat's are all earlier.

When did 48mm come into fashion? Most Bings I can find info on were O 32mm

The sign in front which says it is classic gauge 1 makes it shure that it certainly is a BING engine. When you don´t find it in your catalogues it might be a rare one manufactured for Basset-Lowke. This would make sense as there´s no typical BW sign. This sits normally under the smokebox where the gauge 1 sign takes place. The loco will run fine on 45mm rails. The thick rims of the wheels make them look like 48mm but thats ok!

cheers Joe

There is a Basset Lowke Society, maybe if you email someone there and asked, they might have an idea

Most hobbiests enjoy helping identify an item

I have sent an email to the Bassett lowke society. So If I get a reply I will let you know. It s a 4-4-0 by the way. Thanks for your help everybody, its much appreciated.

Of course, you're right. I don't know why I typed 0-4-0 when I did actually mean 4-4-0

I was definitely looking for 4-4-0T's in the catalogues.
