Thanks Kev. Yes it seems logical to me, the steam pressure is trying to push the lever away from the port face. When running on air I could apply pressure to the top of the spring and it improved the running in that direction. Cheers, Alan.
Given its age Alan, I think it's a wonderful little engine. I guess a gift for a boy or girl, and gave hours of fun. Probably only cost a few shillings or pfennigs. Cheers Nobby

Lovely job! These old bings are something special.
I like all the German steam engines from that era, they are all very appealing.
@@RetroSteamTech agreed. I have a rusty 130/272 runs a treat it’s my favourite engine.

Hi Nobby. Yes, as it is one of Bing's smaller engines I would imagine you are right. Cheers, Alan.
Lovely Bing Alan (how nice is the pressed boiler cap) I don't have a Bing engine in my collection....yet 😃
Thanks Jim. I like all the German engine from that period, they have a certain charm about them. Cheers, Alan.
