Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

As all can imagine, I have followed the restoration of my old childhood Jensen Model 45 upright with intense interest, and I remain amazed at the capabilities of those active in the hobby, and the things that can be done with the proper tools, skills, know how and experience. The old 45, will soon be done to return to its spot on display in the cherry dining room lighted display case. It will not run every day, but it will run on special occasions as a testament to the skills of St Paul Steam, and all those who assisted including Jensen Manufacturing, and other participants who helped with encouragement, physical assistance, builders plate restoration, and the joy of watching the old "girl" come to life after a slumber of 60 years. My thanks to all. I understand that only some nickel plating remains, and then some finish photos. All around thanks to everyone. Fellow hobbyists with tools and experience are a tremendous source of help to we amateurs. The next generation of engines would make a great gift to some young steam enthusiast that would carry it all on. Thanks again to all! Bart1353
