Still can't get myself to run the Doll 320!

By the way, the base on the Bing is made of tin and not cast iron.

That Doll is pristine, I see your dilemma. It is good though to see the old ones run once again and the Bing is proof of that.

I can also understand why you are loath to fire the Doll. Not too serious, in this case, with so many other fine old engines to run & the charming little Bing upright is proof.
As per usual, a most enjoyable & informative video to watch – thank you!
