Re: Jensen #50 with two #20 Boilers

Looks like a made up 50 by someone who got hold of a #50 base casting and flywheel and fabricated the rest of it.

  • Connecting rod is not Jensen.
  • The cylinder even looks like it could be home machinist built.
  • Water pump is definitely not Jensen.
  • Block flange/governor valve is aluminum (should be nickel plated brass)
  • Metal blocks supporting the cylinder also look like aluminum (should be nickel plated brass)
  • Round head phillips screw was likely never used as a crank pin by Jensen.
  • Governor gimbal looks correct (from what I can see of it)
  • I like the addition of a crosshead guide oil cup.
  • Clever adaptation using two #20 boilers.


Please correct me if any of you know different.
