OK, Jim.
So, you’re “Blue Heeler.” I’ve been looking at your uTube channel for quite a while. Some very nice videos!
I have a chuff pot that I got from Jeff or Geoff (Oz Steam Demon) a few years ago that is still sitting at my son’s house in the U.S. I’ve asked him to send it over to me here in France. He also is caretaking three electrically heated Jensens for me … an early 20, and early 5 and a 35 that’s mounted on a board with an Arrow windmill model.
I would like to get those machines over here, too, but it is expensive to do so, unless your crafty about it. I actually brought a Jensen 25 over in a piece of checked baggage. I bought a cheap used bag from a Goodwill (second hand) store for $10, wrapped the steam engine in my dirty clothes and checked it through at JFK. Worked like a charm.
Cheers!
