Well got a call today. Said they where ready to ship the first of the new retro 25GR out. So I have one on the way. We will see what it looks like in person soon. If you get one they are not putting serial numbers on the engine but the memo invoice will have the engine serial number on it. I was told the one I'm getting is number 5. If you get one keep the paper work with it.
Can’t wait to see it Randy!
Ditto, will be looking forward to your report Randy
I'll be waiting for your review, thanks.
Same here. I'll post a video and run one when they arrive. The first riveted boiler Jensens in almost 80 years. Awesomeness.
Checked tracking number. Says it will be delivered tomorrow. Looking forward to getting it.
Same here Randy.
I will not get to open them up until probably Sat or Sun. I have too much going on this weekend.
Excited though. 🙂
I was wondering about this steam engine after seeing it on the Jensen Site, thank you for your video. I love all your accessories!
It is odd they didn't go all the way like Steamloco said earlier.
Nice video. The engine is tempting, but whether to invest in this new one or in a vintage engine, that is vexing.
If you are thinking of getting one, you may want to get it. I think Doreta told me they only made like 30 of the riveted boilers and that was it. So the 25GR is going to be limited number of engines.
I see another throw back on this engine. Besides the riveted boiler,
the regulator valve has a square inline body.
A better finish on ALL of the new boilers would be nice, can still
see the sanding marks. The older ones were polished up much better
to a higher shine.
Really do like the embossed Jensen on the chimney.
Congratulations are in order s3tbolt, you're the first kid on the block.
