1917 BING Live Steam Engine Restoration – Will It Ever Run Again?

In this video, I take on the restoration of a historic German BING Live Steam Engine from 1917, which I won in an auction on eBay.com. The engine was in a terrible condition – it had been exposed to a major fire, which even melted part of the flywheel and turned most of the surface black. Many parts were loose, and some fastening elements were missing. The engine also arrived without the front section, including the chimney. I disassembled it as much as possible, repaired it, repainted it, and reassembled everything. What will the result be?
