Early Bing trains catalogs

I found this photo of my type of tender, could someone give me some info on this locomotive? Is it made by Bing or by another manufacture for Bing? I'd love some additional photos and info. 

I just looked through a reprint of the Bing 1906 catalog and saw no tenders with buffers on both ends like the one in your picture.

In another book I have on Bing I found a similar picture claiming it was dating 1900.

Try browsing thru this site.

there is a picture of the loco on page 122 of Udo becher's "Early Tinplate Model Railways" however, it is pictured in front of a roundhouse with a Gauge 1 "Victoria" and several other Gauge 1 engines. The caption states: "The earliest of the gauge 1 clockwork locomotives carries the old Bing emblem on the smokebox door and has the wheels with a few broad spokes that date from Bing's early period" No number ID on it but very similar in appearance to the later Victoria.

Thanks guys. I found that one photo on Historytoy.com, but I'm looking for more. 

I just purchased "Early Tinplate Model Railways," so I'll take a good look when it comes in the mail. Did you see any mention of early gauge 2 locos, or just gauge 1?

Found this in "Toy Train A History" by Pierce Carlson. I will try and see how my scanner 

works. Funny thing, I got this book today at the library book sale for $3.00.

I hope this helps you

I took these with my phone, much better.

Thanks for the scans, Frank. Seems like a great buy for 3 bucks! 

So now I know what gauge 1 engines were made for that style tender, but my tender is gauge 2. Does anyone know if Bing's gauge 2 line was much different from their gauge 1 line in the early years? Would the gauge 2 loco for my tender look just like these gauge 1 locos or is it something different? Any clue? 

This photo was made from a page of a reprint of the Bing 1898 catalog; it seem to proof that the difference between G0, 1 or 2 was just the size and not the looks.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Fred! That answers my question. Now I know what type of loco to look for. I have the feeling my tender will be lonely for quite a while though. I'm sure these don't turn up too often.
