Some very early Bing used line voltage I do believe. Just imagine your trains needing 120 or 220vac to the track to run them as a child...wow. Try a Prewar Lionel Z transformer. Many prewar trains need that kind of higher voltage to operate. But a second question, has your Bing locomotive been serviced recently? Might be just dry/gummed up with old oil and grease and need a proper cleaning and relubrication to get its voltage/amp draw down to normal. Also check to see if the motor has a field winding or a permag style motor. Many of the Bing engines, especially for the UK market were DC powered vs AC and used a motor with a large magnet instead of the field winding we are more used to with 3 rail trains in the USA
