rdigilio posted:Wow Big Mark, way to up the ante with the beautiful Vauclain and the Ga 1 Märklin Scotsman. The only larger Locos I have are a Bing Precursor Tank in Ga I and a Bing Bowen Cooke in Ga II.
ok so this is the seldom seen Bing for BL NBR Short Precursor
and a very scarce NER Bing for BL 0-4-4 Tank loco
and the Märklin LNWR Experiment
Cheers

Very nice Roland, a friend has a NBR short precursor tank like yours, in fact I recall he has something like 6 different pre grouping versions, including the hard to find ones like the NBR, Caledonian etc. Your NER "M7" is off the scale though! I've seen a fewe gauge 1 examples, I actually missed one a couple of years back, annoyingly, but I've never seen another O gauge example. The Marklin Experiment is a lovely loco too, I know a couple of friends who have LNWR examples, but I've just got the LMS version, shown here at an event with a friends LNWR.
And here's my Experiment with my Bowen Cooke tank, photographed at the same event.
