Thanks for the history lesson...2 years old (https://emoji.tapatalk-cdn.com/emoji23.png)

That gave me a good laugh Bruce, well done !

On the same page, does anyone recall the great sound raincaps make on a Jensen 55 with truck exhausts added?

That huge SV does look rather good on top of the #30, but it also looks a just a bit like the aliens have landed.  ;c)

With tongue firmly planted in cheek, St. Paul Steam takes us back through the history of Jensen safety valves ... and well beyond !!!  ;c)

Just be careful not to overtorque that last one  ...  it could strip the boiler threads.

What kind of project have you got going now Bruce?

….lol, nothing special going on Nick, I just took a break from serious engine building & made this for fun a few weeks ago & just got it back from the platers.
