Single cylinder steam engine

Coopertje:
Not sure if this is the correct place, if not please let me know.

Bought the engine as shown below one week ago. I am planning to get it back in its original condition, there is one problem though, I have no clue at all what engine this is. It is made from castings, that I am sure of. Does not look like a Stewart set, at least not like what they are selling today. I hope that one of you recognize the engine I have here…. I need some examples since there are some missing parts on this engine….









Thanks in advance for your help!

To me that resembles a `German' style toy engine from the 20s or 30s. Any other thoughts?

Jasonb:
There are a lot of similarities to this Bing engine though the bearing blocks are different

I agree with Roger  and Jason, prewar German toy steam. Yo might try asking on this site http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org, it's full o toy steam experts.

Coopertje:
Thank you so much Roger, Jason and Hugh! It must be a Bing from early 1900. I think with the pictures from the mentioned sites I should be able to construct the missing parts.

First I was planning to remachine and paint it, but an engine this old should be left as it is as much as possible.

Thanks again gents!
