A great collection Randy and really displayed well.
Thanks for sharing all of the pictures.
-
Nice display cabinets Randy, i liked the large stationary steam engine plant in the first one. Great collection of Jensens too!
-
Thanks everyone. Enjoy collecting and building model and toy engines, and also the full size engines.
-
Some very nice Jensens in there Randy 8)
-
WOW Boss man you have some very nice stuff
Thanks Stewart
Have a nice day

Well I guess technically I only have 7. One is before it was called a model 10. Think it was called a Big Power Plant. Best I can figure out it was built around 1935. I think it is what started the model 10.
-
Hunting down all variations is a pretty big quest, but certainly doable for a dedicated collector as yourself.
One thing i know though, is that youīre way ahead of me already, having just 5 here...or 6 if counting the 25G as a #10.
Would love to see a #10 family picture, if you find the time :)

The tube has a small leak in it. I will put a new tube in it. I think Tom Jensen done what ever he wanted to do. I have about give up on trying to figure out what or how he done things. Glad you like the collection I've put together. I've got a crazy idea I want to do (if possible). I want to try and collect all the different versions of the model 10s. Dont know if I can get it done but I'm sure gonna try. So far I have 8 different ones now and still hunting.

Thanks Randy (https://emoji.tapatalk-cdn.com/emoji482.png)
It was merely the missing screw on the old 10 that made me wonder, very very nice engine !
Weird with that old style armature in the later standalone generator, but am guessing that is just another example of Mr. Jensen using up old stock.
I followed that #5 on Ebay, and really wondered why it didnīt go any higher...
Guess people was scared off by the rust on the smokestack support/rear end of firebox, signalling a defective heater tube.
Have you investigated if that indeed is the case yet?
Anyway, you got yourself a very nice classic Jensen there, congrats !

Here are some more pictures of the riveted boiler 5. Again is in realy good mechanical condition but realy bad cosmetically. It is also in line for restoration.
-
Not sure about the Ribbon egg blue on generator. The fellow i got it from said he had had it for years and it was that way when he got it. The wire on armature is cloth covered.
-
Not sure what you are seeing on the 10. Heres a closer picture of it. I know its missing a screw or plug on the side of steam chest. This engine is in good mechanical condition but realy bad cosmetically. Is in line to be restored soon.
-
I am thoroughly impressed by your collection Randy, thank you sooo much for sharing !!!
...and those last 4 pics certainly rang all the bells LOUDLY here.
A couple of questions for the right side Oakley cabinet:
What is going on with the steamchest, on the extremely early 4 bolt powerplant (#10 style) to the right on the top shelf?
Seems something is missing, or is it the lighting that tricks my eyes?
Whatīs the story of the (70īs?) #10, having robinīs egg blue windings on a hammertone painted generator?
Finally, would you share a picture of your riveted boiler #5 at the bottom shelf?

Last one. For now ::)

-
Still figuring out how to post more then one picture. Think i got it. Better with engines then this modern technology.
-
More pics.

Finally got it done. Sorry about the glare on glass from lights.

Beautiful display case and beautiful contents!!!

The Case is a heavy engine to pick up and put on a shelf. Put pallet on forklift, put Case on pallet, picked it up and rolled it in place.
-
Helps out alot with the full size engines.
-
Thanks everyone. The Case is a 2" scale. I built it from castings from Coles several years ago. This cabinet is one of 7 I have in my shop. The others are smaller and full of steam toys. When I get everything done I'll post pictures of all of them. Just playing having fun.
Forgot to give size. The cabinet is 8ft long, 10ft high, 2ft deep.
The cabinet is much larger than I had guessed! I just bought a 2" Case, and it's a heavy engine at 140 pounds to lift up onto that shelf ;) We need something common in the picture for scale. ;)
-
I like that screen-cooled International at the lower left. My kind of engine!
-
Great display case for your engines - looking forward to more pics.

Very nice, but you may as well start building a second, as you know this one will be overflowing before long!

You have a wonderful collection Randy.
And the display case looks great.
Thank you for sharing.
-
Randy, your display case looks great with some fine model engines in it!
And..
It is clearly more than strong enough!

Very Nice Really like the two on the bottom left and is that a 1" Coles Case above them?
Hi Nick, I think that might be a 1.5" or 2" Case.
The flywheels on the bottom shelf are 8.25" on the Sam Harman Moguls.
-
Holy cow! That's quite a menagerie. You really look a bit overloaded...I could easily store something here for you. I'd have to run it every once in a while, ya know to keep it fresh. I'm not picky which one, they all look damn fine
-
Whoa yeah ... there is some seriously nice machinery displayed in that cabinet!
-
Thanks for showing us Randy, what a nice collection.
-
Very Nice 8) Really like the two on the bottom left and is that a 1" Coles Case above them?

Still haven't finished yet. Still got to get plexiglas cut for sliding doors and put lights in. But its getting close. Had to see if everything I wanted to put in it would fit. Still got a few more to go in but they will all fit with a little room left for a few more.
