- Here is a new video !!
This is a rare Live Steam model train produced by the German company "BING" around 1920.
It was in very bad shape, pretty much rusted, both pistons were seized.
I've had to create new labels, not sure about the painting work tho... I did my best.
Some parts were very thin they couldn't be sandblasted. I used electrolytic pickling.
Please watch till the end to see this rare live steam locomotive in action !
By supporting the channel you help me make more of these video and find more amazing items.
I hope you'll enjoy this restoration.
Thanks a lot for watching !

The restoration itself is amazing, but to me what's even more amazing is your ability to remember how to put everything back together again!
Thanks a lot 🤣 I sometimes take a while to remember where certain parts go !
@@TheFabrik Good thing you recorded it :P
Видео посмотреть достаточно для этого, ведь процесс разборки пишется на видео

I was obsessed with trains as a little girl, my great grandfather worked for the railroad. As a child he would tell me of his adventures and hardships back then. Seeing you restore this steam engine with love and care makes my heart happy. Especially since there are so few out there that still do your level of complete restoration. My great grandfather was also German, he would have been so proud to see this engine done and where it was made. Thank you 🙏 so much for sharing.
Hey Jennifer thanks again 😀🙌
Было время, когда в работу по изготовлению игрушек мастера вкладывали свою душу. После такой рестоврации душа вновь оживает ☝️. Золотые руки 🖐️
The reason why they stopped making those toy trains is because they cout a lot of houses on fire back in the day, seeing this restored is pretty rare
To paraphrase Santa in A Christmas Story, "You'll burn your house down kid."
Watching it run had me nervous! Haha it's so speedy that if it went off the rails and crashed that oil would go everywhere. I can also imagine that the train got unreasonably hot and burned many little hands.
Tip over and flame job o boy !
@@piperarcher9706 reason it's so speedy is because it's not pulling any wagons!
Uses liquid and fire
Выдающаяся работа потрясающе спасибо мастеру за труд приятно видеть и окончание работы игрушка работает только аплодисменты
Нонсенс! Я думала что игрушки до эпохи батареек могли быть только заводные. А тут такая штука, как настоящий паровоз!
Чудо какое - то! Голова умная, руки золотые у Вас. Спасибо за доставленное удовольствие.
Thank you !!! 🙌
One of the best restorations I've watched. Totally impressed with the "before & after" comparison AND the fact that you've got it running ... under its own steam ... literally. Nice work!
Thanks a lot Steven 😃👍🏻

What a shame we have gotten so technical that we don't build Beautiful things like this anymore. Thank God for people who do this kind of preservation.
I just cannot believe how great that turned out! It looks beautiful and it runs really well. Thanks for sharing this wonderful tutorial.
Thank you John ! 🙌

Этот паровозик замечательный! А восстановление - просто волшебство!
Большое спасибо🙌
My brother had an-online business selling Japanese brass engines to collectors all over the world. His whole 50’ x50’ basement was a train set up. Great job giving this a new life! Choo choo!
Glad it brings back some fun memories ! 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂
I love the "cowboy" background music during the restoration. I really love old trains but I've never seen a real steam powered set! So awesome to have!
You know it's going to be a good day when it starts with "electrolytic oickling". Thanks Mr. Fabrik!
Thank you !!😃🙌
One of the main reasons that I enjoy watching restoration videos is seeing the various techniques applied in the process. This was an excellent example! Thank-you.
Thank you ! 🙌
Какая тщательная реставрация, столько мелких и крупных деталей.Да раньше умели делать игрушки, а теперь есть мастера по их возрождению . Браво !
большое спасибо 😊
GOD BLESS THE QUEEN & FAMILY!!! I SAW THE QUEEN BE CROWNED IN 50'S!!! MY MOM LOVED HER!!! YOUR WORK IS TRULY A LABOR OF LOVE!!! I KNEW THE ENGINE WAS ENGLISH AND THE HUMIDITY THERE IS HIGH...THUS THE RUST...YOU ARE REALLY GOOD...THANKS FOR POSTING!!! (From CALIF, USA)
Вот это вещь! Думаю, каждый мечтал о таком паровозе в детстве! Реставрация просто супер! 👍 Автору и мастеру низкий поклон!👏

A toute vapeur vers le succès grâce à une technicité une minutie en un mot un savoir-faire bravo Greg
Oh André merci beaucoup ! 😌🙌
Incredible job.
You gave life again to a piece of art. Wish they made more toys like this today.
They still make model trains that run off real steam today, look up Accucraft and Mamod
Это просто шедеврально. Вот так игрушка🥰 Не то что сейчас клепают. Реставратору отдельное спасибо, золотые руки👍👍👍
😌🙏
My dad had a Bing live steamer as a kid in London in the early 1930’s. Now at last here it is! I’d never actually seen one before! He always told me he got banned from the living room by my grandparents because it used to go so fast it would derail and turn over on the tight curves and set fire to the carpet 😂. He used to load the coaches with stones from the garden to slow it down. In the end he swapped it for some Meccano with a school friend - I never forgave him for that !! Apparently he never even got all the Meccano he was promised either! Great restoration 👍
Wow what a story 😃👍 Always touching to bring the memories back ! Dangerous toys indeed 😅
I have often wondered the process required to restore something like this. I was awed by the process. I will tell you that you are a gifted person to have the patience to do this. Your work is outstanding. Thank you for the video. I truly enjoyed watching.
Thanks a lot 😌🙏
SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Получил эстетитческое удовольствие как перфекционист и любитель красоты😊спасибо мастеру
Thank you very much ! 🙌
I'm usually not a big fan of some of these restoration videos online, but this one really intrigued me! Maybe because I had an old HO train set when I was a young boy back in the 1960's. It kind of brought back some nice memories playing with that set. This one is a bit different than the one I had, as mine was electric. It had these rubber capsuls with what I think was an oil inside it, to make smoke. You would pierce the capsul with a pin and put the oil into the train smoke stack. I wish I still had it. Just that, and the GI Joe I had from the 60's would be worth quite a bit. Unfortunately it was passed on to some other kids growing up in our neighborhood. Our neighborhood was like that back then.
I'm so pleased when I see old trains on here. The repair of them is soothing.
👍👍👍
A live steam engine of this size is honestly incredible. It’s a shame these are not made these days like their pop pop boat counterparts. Toys with actual working steam engines are pretty amazing to see.
Ones like these are big fire hazards, hence why they were discontinued
I do how ever have a working 1960s Marx Electric steam engine that creates the steam using friction with a metal plate
@@kingwolf9447yeah I could see why they would be fire hazards. Still though, they are pretty cool concepts and I’m sure they could be improved upon to make them a bit safer.
You are taking us on a journey of craftmanship. When many of these were made by human hands and hard labour.
Super cool, neat that it steamed right up after all that time it spent rotting away.
YES !!! A PERFECT Restoration ! Worthy of a Museum - and it still runs, and runs FAST !
Очень красиво и круто. Даже работает как настоящий, на поворотах вагончик с углëм чуть не переворачивается 👍👌
I was overwhelmed with the attention to details you commanded. Then the steam engine came to life, and I was blown away……great job.
Thanks a lot !
Stunning results!!! Loved the demo at the end...that locomotive has the speed.
Thanks a lot Jill 🙌
This is great
@jill: I think the cone shaped firebox door helped with the aerodynamics. 😀
Do you fill up coal and water
@@TheFabrik ++
Beautiful! Loved the brass boiler. Another great restoration.
I am a Santa for over 40 years! To see what you do brings great joy to me. Thank you so much.
Thanks a lot ! Glad you enjoyed 😌👍🏻
I would imagine these toys were fazed out because they were a little dangerous for kids. Kind of like lawn jarts and the original easy bake oven. Fine job restoring a piece of history. Your skill at restoration is amazing.
Thank you very much Tom 😌🙌
Awsome! I hawe the 1912 model, it's one of my personal favorites. I even managed to find some original tracks and switches for it.
I still have 8 pieces of O gauge track to go with my set.
@@michaelcampin1464 Awsome! Even if those old steel tracks are not the best compared to the modern ones there is still a special feeling to them in my personal opinion that can´t be replaced by shiny plastic. (i hawe a modern plastic Lionel 0 gauge as well, but it mostly stand on the shelf since i lost interest in digitalizing after finding out i needed to replace the whole motor as well as running on DC if one wanted all the modern fetures and i don't want to build an entire new setup only for one single locomotive non of the other can even usel, so i concider selling it even if i love the design and the massive feeling of it, the old Hornby/JEP ones is just to clean and oil and it and put them on the track and they runs! Despite some of them being more than 100 Years old now.).
I Hawe the the Basset Lowke pre war steam mogul as well in my collecion, i managed to make a ok deal on it since it was smashed into pices whan i got it, but it was pretty easy to fix with new softsolder.
Ï currently working on an RC frame with model RC servos and a receiver for an old model aircraft radio i had laying around, my idea is to make the servos control the steam valve lever and the reverse lever (The double cylinder wersion has that function, the single operated cylinder does not i think othervise the seem pretty identical except for the construction of the steamvcylinders), perhaps also a servo for the steamwistle, that had been fun!
I’m looking for another steam livr loco ;) And that one is my favourite too 😌
some kid from the 1920's must be really happy to see it like this again
Here's what I didn't tell to any engineer restoring anything. Any contraption. Whatever it is, you better fix it up fast.
Incredible! What a joy it must be for someone who loves his work as much as you do! I love the way you take such pride in every one of the tiniest details! Your work is truly a blessing to my heart! My father was an engineer and architect and I could see him working on his projects, which included building nuclear and Electric Power plants, the way you do. Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot Barbara ! 😌🙌
Very, very nice results! Looks and runs great! Awesome job! 👍 The one piece that has the spring that is the cap for the water fill on the boiler is probably also a pressure release so it doesn't explode. The tightness of the screw compressing the spring probably is the adjustment for the pressure relief. On a real steam locomotive they're called pop off valves, in the USA anyway. Not sure how to adjust it on the toy but I'd say research and try to find out the specs on the little steam locomotive and adjustment steps for the pressure relief valve. That is if you don't know and/or haven't done this already. Live steam is fun but comes with some danger if not properly respected.
Thanks a lot William for all these infos 👍🏻😃🙌
@@TheFabrik Echoing @William Bryant 's caution here. That part with the spring he mentions is the "Safety Valve" for the boiler, and the nut on the spring adjusts the pressure relief setting. If you want to keep operating the locomotive, you should really, _REALLY_ pressure test that setting (off the boiler, not on) w/compressed air to ensure it is set at a safe level to keep the boiler from exploding from too much pressure.
Also, always be sure to operate with sufficient water. Overheating the metal due to low water levels has caused more "real world" boiler explosions than too much pressure. Distilled water is best for your lovely locomotive, to help reduce scaling and mineral deposits.
@@TheFabrik Just came across this. Aren't you devaluing the "antique" by taking off the original paint, numbers and names and such? That said, I wish I had the memory it takes to put all that stuff back together again. (Minus the help with the video of course)
@@TheFabrik Then again, I guess it's pretty shot. heh-heh.
@@TheFabrik All in all....Wow.
That was amazing.
Speaking as someone what has been seeing entropy just dissolve what I used to take comfort in think would always be,
Seeing things come back to life like this is some really powerful "chicken soup for the soul"
Thank you very much 🙏
When I see toys like this all shiny like new again, I get a little feeling of what that child felt when they got this for a Christmas present or Birthday gift. I just imagine how many children played with it imagining themselves on the train as the engineer or passenger. Guess I’m just a child at heart, that’s probably why I like this channel so much! 😊☺️🤗
That is the most beautiful little locomotive I have ever seen! The fact that it runs on steam is astounding!!
Quelle métamorphose, franchement bravo.😮👍👍
Merci i 😃👍🏻
👍👍👍
I am still amazed how you find such beautiful toys in complete rust. No one will want to ignore such beautiful toys. But kudos to you for restoring them so like new.
Thanks a lot ! Cheers
Шикарная реставрация! Удивлен, что паровозик еще и ездит 🤩
It's inevitable that a lot of old objects will be neglected like this, but I wonder what happened to this one. It looks like it spent the last century on the bottom of a lake. Amazing work giving it new life!
Sitting in a damp basement could do more damage than that in a fraction of the time. Something that old could be more rust than metal. My cousin cleaned up a basement and found beautiful dishes. At least until they crumbled to dust in his hands. They had been completely ruined by being improperly stored. And I doubt they were half as old as that toy. Something has to be really well taken care of to last 100 years undamaged.
Awesome. And the printed repros of the original lithography are quite a feat. But it's the shining copper boiler that's stealing the show (the whistle too 😁)❤️
👍👍👍
that is one awesome train - you could see actually how much one could learn from the basic fundamentals of science with this little chap.
Thank you very much !👍
My cat very much enjoyed watching this restoration with me. Great work. Looks purrrfect 🐈⬛ ❤
Oh ! 😂 Hello little cat 😘
I'm always amazed by your work. Such an old, rotten piece, so easy to renovate again, my compliments, fantastic work.
Thanks a lot Michael 😌🙏
When i feel stressed at work, i take a break and watch these restoration videos. Instant relaxation! I love this!!
Thank you ! Glad you enjoyed :)
I love restoring trains videos. I like trys and it makes me happy to see someone restore a model train and restore it to working order and saving it from a cutters torch.
Glad you enjoy ! 😉
Being a former Horological person but also a former locomotive engineer, this was very well done!
Thanks a lot. Glad you enjoy !
(11/Ene/23) Que magnifico trabajo. No hay palabras para definir tanto talento. Desde Santiago de Chile🇨🇱, (sudamerica) le envío un abrazo virtual junto a mis felicitaciones.
Abrazo bien recibido ! Te envío uno desde Francia con mi agradecimiento.😃
What an amazing restoration! You did a FANTASTIC job on this - and seeing the engine actually run afterwards was just the icing on the cake!
Thank you very much 🍒🍒🍒
I love that you run the train after restoring it instead of putting it on a shelf and not using it. Movement is it's purpose. Awesome restoration.
Thanks a lot ! Glad you enjoyed it !
Блиииииииииин я просто смотрю и балдею. У этого человека золотые руки 👍👍👍👍
The best restoration videos always have the restorer wearing black gloves. Thank you, a great job.
Thank you ! 🙌
when the locomotive was driving, he seemed so happy 😹
I know it's cliched but they really don't make them like they use too. I grew up in the 80's and most of the stuff I played with was Plastic and couldn't be restored to "new" condition if someone even tried.
There was craftmanship and skill in the building of old toys like these just like there was in the restoration good job.
Unbelievable! I would have sold my dear mother (God rest) for one of those steam engines when I was a kid. A toy that needs fire to operate-it does not get any better than that for a juvenile delinquent boy with pyromaniac tendencies. Wunderbar!
looks extremely well made... must have cost quite a handsome penny back in the day
Normally for how rare these are, I'd say it's best to keep it original but in this one's case, yeah. I'd probably restore it too.
Keith Appleton made a video series on a complete Bing clockwork (wind up) passenger train, a locomotive and two cars. Knowing how rare that particular model is, he preserved it, only redoing whatever looked worst or was missing.
Your knowledge of metals is amazing.
Thanks a lot 🙌
If your the same guy who restored the Tonka pick up truck, now your restoring an old toy steam train & tender, you heart is really into
what UR doing because when your finished, these toys look like their freash from the toy factory.
Thank you very much 😌🙌
From crud to good. Well done; once more every little chaps prize possession
Thoroughly brilliant!!! Love your attention to detail, superb tool work, metallurgical knowledge, and steady and firm hands. This was a real rescue job! Outstanding!!
Thanks a lot😊 glad you enjoy
Hat a lot of work taking apart, cleaning and putting back together all those tiny parts, for such a tiny toy! But, oh, wasn’t it worth it in the end!? Fabulous job! I love watching these fisher-uppers! Nothing like rejuvenating some old, ❤️🦘broken, dilapidated thing and giving it new life. Even better when it looks brand new again!
Glad you enjoyed it ! Thanks a lot !
That toy train looks magnificent to be 100 year's old. Incredible restoration and a incredible eye for detail.
Nice to hear that, thank you very much for your support 🙏
Lovely restoration! A word of caution on the boiler. I had a similar one explode on being fired up even though the safety valve was functional. It made a very big bang with lots of shrapnel and most likely caused by corrosion from within the boiler. These should be hydraulically pressure tested to ensure they're still safe before pressurising with steam or even compressed air.
A little oil on the side faces of the oscillating cylinders is a good idea too - lubricates and helps seal.
Keep up the good work.
Oh wow thanks for all these infos mate ! I was about to do another steam loco... I think I’ll thest the boiler definitely 😨🙌
May be a stupid question but I thought bronze doesn't rust?
I can tell you have a love of restoring old things. Your work is exsquisit!
Thank you ! Glad you enjoyed 🙌
I love this train so much!
Прикольный паровозик, необычная игрушка. В первый раз вижу такое чудо, чтобы он поехал, нужно сначала горючей жидкости залить в бак, потом поджечь фитиль, внизу бака и паровозик поедет. Очень необычное увлечение. Спасибо 🙏 вам огромное, что реставрируете такие редкие вещи.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you ! 🙌
This restorations are so therapeutic 🌻🌻🌻🙌🏻

What a great Restoration Its good to see it running again
Incroyable la patience et la minutie qu'il doit vous falloir ! Bravo 👏👏
Такая сложная игрушка.
Сам машинист , уважение Вам , мастер !!!
You can tell its made in germany by how elaborate it is. Jesus its not a toy, its a little machine at this point...like every part comes off, its not lazily casted into a unibody with parts...how much effort/assembly went into these...wow
Thank you ! That was a huge work 😅
It’s amazing that no critical/un duplicatable pieces are broken
Absolutely lovely model and restauration. It is really a small working steam engine! I didn't expect the model to have so many parts and even an operaring whistle. Very cool
That was the coolest restoration I’ve ever seen…great job! Seeing the train powered by fire was unexpected and thrilling!
Thank you very much ! Glad you enjoyed 🙌
I love…love….love steam locomotives… Any kind of train!!! Thank you for restoring this relics…
Thank you !!!
wow. completely professional restauration of one of the incredible toys they made back then
So meticulous and thorough. Beautiful job. Best restorer I've seen here yet. First one I've watched of yours but definitely not the last.
Thanks a lot !🙌🙌🙌 Welcome to my channel ! See you soon, I hope !😉
Haha awesome how fast it runs in the end. I was so glad you added the decals. I specifically love your transition shots during disassembly. I know that takes a lot of patience and planning. Very well done. Great results

Love this! I used to restore Mamod steam toys as a teenager about 20 years ago - this makes me want to dig them out and run them again!
Their boilers, fittings and pipes used normal solder instead of silver solder and when fitting pipes to the brackets we’d whittle down a match stick to plug the hole so that the solder wouldn’t fill the pipe.
One of the cylinders looked really tight when you were inserting the piston when reassembling - did you have to ream the cylinder out or just run the locomotive in for a bit to wear it in?
