Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

I have never been a collector and just look at engines for the play value. Having said that, I was loaned a Jensen 50 for a couple of weeks. They are very nice but I would never think of paying the $5000 that they charge for a new one even if I just won the Powerball. I’m not condemning people who do and want something on the exclusive side. For me they are way over priced. I could put together a really nice plant for that kind of cash.
