Trip to Manitoba
« on: April 01, 2019, 11:01:00 pm »
2 weeks ago we made the 5 hour drive to Chicago for the Jensen turbine

Last Monday I headed to the big city to get a passport expedited

And now today we drove 700 miles (11 hours of driving) for my dream engine!  ;D

Jeez Louise.....Nick that is one hellavu' an engine you've got there!

No wonder you've been so excited about this one. Looking forward to the details pics when you make the journey home.

Drive careful and don't be concentrating too much on this new TE :)

This one is getting to the upper limit at 150 pounds and the wooden crate just barely fit in the minivan at 48 inches long

Congratulations Nick!

I am so happy for you.

This is an amazing model and now you get to learn all about running on Coal.

Safe travels my friend.

Nice (BIG) engine! Any larger, you'd need a flat bed truck!

They'll only get it from you Nick, if you don't sell it out from under them first! ;c)
