Doll tandem steamroller
« on: February 09, 2025, 03:55:28 pm »
I know this is mostly a Jensen crowd, but thought you might like this which was modeled after American prototypes. Here's the video: https://youtu.be/oCNC0q8gTZs

Only 5-10% Jensen engines here and I definitely love this piece!! There is a full size of it available at our local show, but I think I’d rather have this 😍

A very nice original piece Brent. Funny thing was I clicked on this video (on my Kindle) I had just put in my ear buds (so as not to disturb my wife) wasn't hearing anything so cranked the volume full blast & that's when the whistle kicked in...should have seen me yanking out those earplugs...😆

I surely do like that little roller ..... even though its not a Jensen!    ;c)

Probably only 20-25% Jensens here, if even that high a percentage, as certainly there are many more engines in this world than just that one great maker!!!

What a rare bird Brent!

It looks to be in mint condition.

Thanks for sharing the video.

Thanks Charlie. It looks mint but has also had some restoration by the former owner.

That's fantastic. Beats the heck out off any roller Wilesco, Mamod, Fleischmann, or anyone else put out
IMO.
