The next leg of our journey brought us further into Ohio and the home of Randy Calhoun... who is most known for developing the Jensen #51 Power Station. For his good friend Tom Jensen Sr., Randy built all but 2 or 3 of the 27 Jensen 51s that were produced.
At Randy's home I brought in our friend Bill's slide valve very early 1930's Jensen Big Power Plant which has a true D-Valve and a 6" diameter riveted boiler. Of course, we had a steam-up with it. This piece came on the road with us with full permissions obtained in advance from Bill.
Here is a video of our steam-up.
Enjoy!
