This is the Jensen #20 Deluxe Big Power Plant after it's initial cleaning and inspection. We completed a limited restoration. (Thank you Randy) It is 100% complete and as it was in 1932.  This engine has a Chromalox Heater and is the Slide-D Valve type. It is the only one of this type to exist. It is a very special steam engine and www.SteamEnginesUSA.com is very honored to have it as part of our collection.
The 6 inch boiler was not made from 3 inch brass pipe but was actually rolled and formed from a flat sheet. Check out the other videos on the youtube channel if you want to see this up close. I have videos showing the rivets on the bottom of the boiler, video of the Chromalox heater and of it running.

It truly is a one of a kind engine.
