I’ll continue taking offers on this Jensen 50 for about 24 more hours. Current best offer is $2800 from RedRyder.
I’ll finalize the sale around 3:00 p.m. tomorrow 4/25/2020. Don’t wait till the last minute, I may not see your offer!
Don’t miss this opportunity to acquire a sought after engine. These don’t change hands that often- previous owner kept this one for over 40 years! Thanks.   Mr. Tom

Congrats Gil.
That would be a perfect base for one of those riveted boilers you have. Will you drop one on it or just restore it back to original shape?

I was all tempted to bid more for this one to. Now that it's sold I'll point out something that really stands out but often overlooked. I think Gil has aquired a very interesting year 50 here. Personally I can't recall seeing an angled sight glass #50 boiler on a brick firebox. Hopefully you can procure a brick smokestack base. I think its a very nice engine and one not often seen.
Kudos to all. Thanks Tom and congrats Gil and buyer.

I assume this 50 of mine with angled sight glass came on a brick firebox given the brick smokestack base, but it has darker blue engine base.

Thanks, Jack. I don't know for sure which way this project will go until it gets here and I have had time to scare up a few parts and look it over up close.


In the early 1960's the fireboxes were brick and the boilers retained the slanted tube site glass into the mid 60's or later. It was sometime between 1965 and 1968 that the 3 round windows found their way into production.

Nick the size of your rig is very impressive.
I notice it inhales the entire top of your picnic table.!
