Very nice! I like the old non reversing engines. I think part of the reason that they run so nice is not having the drag of the reversing linkage.
exactly.

This engine looked just like this when I got it, Charlie had done all the hard work already, I just adjusted/tuned a few things. Charlie & I thank you for the compliments.

Bruce, I have seen a number of similar Jensens, but none that run as smooth as you have that one going...fine tuning takes time, but the results are well worth it.

That is certainly a very special gift, made even better by the ministrations of the SPS shop!

hello fellow steamers.
here we have a 1945-47 #25 Jensen steam engine gifted to me from Charlie Miller(when he came to visit). It has a Jed P. custom heavy duty boiler (brand new) with a SPS custom pressure gauge mounted up front, I put a new heater in it, adjusted the timing & valving, fixed some leaks in the cylinder assembly & here we have it. these non-reversers run the best because they don't need to compromise between forward & reverse. I think it's really special that someone taped the original instructions underneath the base. Thanks again Charlie for such a special gift!
