That picture from 1975 is great!  8)  And I'd love to see a good shot of that full 1983 parts/price list specific to the 50  ;)

Hi Mr. Tom, thx for giving the forum members a crack at your 50. I am among those intending to bid. I was unable to tell if the feedwater pump is filling the boiler in your video. Can you comment as to its performance? Thx,

Thanks for your interest! Yes, the feed pump is filling the boiler. It works great. The water tank is not original but is included in the sale.
Having a feed pump and tank really increases the fun factor and allows for longer run times. Happy bidding!

Home built water reservoir and chuff pot are included. Nothing fancy, but it will allow the new owner to immediately plug and play.

Other than being afflicted with cabin fever, we' all seem to be weathering things relatively well, with our current restrictions taken into consideration. Jensen is no stranger to surviving extreme hard times, so don't be too quick to count us out. Luckily, we are able to scale operations with some significant flexibility, although the current situation is unprecedented. Our major concern these days is for our loyal fans who might not be in any position to support us with new orders, once we're allowed to reopen.  We worry about you guys, just as you worry about our well being. Funny how that relationship works... eh?
