The big ole Jensen definitely found itself in the right hands! Considering all that it's been through, it's still looks great. Great restoration on a rare piece!
Very enjoyable video, Gil, very nice repair and restoration.
Hey, maybe those aren't really cigarette burns, but rather are actually cigar burns .... ala Tom Sr!?!?
T. J. Sr. likely left a few cigar burns on his work benches.
Great video of the steam engine running congratulations on getting it restored!!!
It's beautiful. The wood, light blue, black, and polished nickel is the best combo of colors.
I know a black stack is original but that polished one looks better IMO. It's beautiful.

Thanks, Tommy.
I have an unplated brass stack inbound that will get a coat of black lacquer just like the original.

That’s a real beauty, Gil. You did a fine restoration job and now it looks like it could be equally at home in a museum.

Agree with you on all counts Mike, but in my opinion that engine is already "at home in a museum", as the Office of Steam most certainly qualifies within that definition as I understand it!!!

From what I’ve seen in pictures and video, I would have to agree Daniel.
Beautiful job on that one, Gil!
