Robin Corsiglia lives in the US and was an early, website-owning, collector. He retired a couple of years ago and is thinning out a pretty vast collection I believe! His website's server broke a few years ago and he dodn't bother reinstating it. (There's still a link via Jon O's site.)

Like Nick, I've bought from him and my new Falk is on it's way as we speak!

Nick - I see the boiler end is stamped. If it's BW then you've got a 10/166/1 - post 1918 (there is a 10/116/2 but that has a water gauge). If it's stamped GBN then it's a pre WW1 model 130/531.

Could you possibly post a picture of the burner please? I think I might have one like it that I've been trying to identify!

Thanks for all the info Stephen! Sounds like it's 130/531? (The video should answer your questions and I've got abunch of pictures to post later)

Enjoy!

(Don't forget to click the HQ option. Wink )

Brilliant Nick! A beautiful engine, complete and in full working order - WOW!

Your video does answer the questions, and the burner is a match for mine, now I know!

It's definately a 130/531, Gebruder Bing, c100 years old - doesn't it make you think eh?

What does the 'DRGM' on the cylinder signify?
