Hey guys. Hope you are doing well.
I ran across this video and thought some of you would like to see it.
This is most likely the #20 Big Deluxe Power Plant that was featured in the late 1930's brochure.
Only one ever found that is complete. Randy Tucker did some magnificent work on this engine to bring
it back to from the condition found.
I have other videos you can search that show taking it apart and looking at the boiler that was made from sheet metal.
It is a priceless example of Jensen's show piece from the 1930's
I have since passed this one on to a good friend who now has it in his collection.
Since Howard passed a year ago Jan 20th I've really just sort of lost the passion I once had.
Not really been around much. But I do think of you guys often. Keep searching for those rare beauties.
and What a beauty this little gem is.. Enjoy. Jack
Here are all the videos of this one of a kind #20 Big Deluxe Power Plant.

Thanks Jack, got snow, rain and wind with cold temps predicted for the next few days. This catalog of wonderful old Jensen viewing will help pass the time until my shop is warm enough to work in and the outside is livable again!!!
