Filling a Jensen #55 & #20 Boiler

Filling a Jensen #55 & #20 Boiler

Being the scientific one that I am (yeah pull the other leg Jim :) ) I've worked out that after filling a Jensen boiler to just the top of the sight glass and THEN adding a further 150ml gives a nice long run.

 ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

Ok good to know.  I love mine but they only offer 20 min or less runtime

Love steam engines, especially older German made.  Love the more clockwork style.  Addicted to this stuff!

I've thought that maybe sticking to Roundhouse's locomotive boiler filling technique of filling all the way up and then removing 30 ml would work well for similar sized vessels.
