• This a Jensen 85 modified by our own Randy Tucker.
  He did a great job with a lot of thought and it shows.
  It resembles a scaled down Jensen 35.
  
  
  It features a removable computer style power cord. This is a great help with keeping your display area neat.
  Inside the firebox is a flickering glowing orange lamp that gives the appearance of a real fire under the boiler.
  It has a nice look and feel.
  
  
  Here are a couple pictures of it next to a #35 and a video is coming quickly.
  
  
  Enjoy,
  
  
  Gil

  Contrary to what its mere size would indicate, it certainly looks like it´s capable of doing some serious work under full steam there...
  
  Very nice modding by Randy, and congratulations Gil, it´s a neat little addition to your collection

• Thanks everyone.  Glad to hear you like it. This engine was built from a new engine. I think the squeak is coming from the nickel plate that is in the bore. I guess when it gets hot it tightens up to much. I think this will go away after it get a little run time on it. I have noticed after they cool down the squeak goes away.
