   Here posting a couple of photos of the Jensen 55 G in question, thanks to SPS for getting this started!

   I had only seen photos and videos of two other examples of this engine, including of course Nick's, with the green presentation plate, and its most interesting serial number. Compared with this one, does it imply that his is #19 (as I recall) from that year alone, or #19 since 1995?? I am guessing the latter, but guessing is all I really have to go on.

  I can identify a few clear differences between mine and the others. First of course, this one has both a generator (non BB) and a lineshaft (and as far as I know, not an entirely standard production lineshaft?). Second, it has an additional black drip tray below the reversing gear behind the cylinders - the others have only a single drip tray at the base of the chuff-stacks. Third, the exhaust tubing from the engine to the stacks on this one is thick black rubber (?), on the others it is thinner blue silicone.

      Would appreciate any further information or comments.......
