Beautiful job and quite the runner!

If you boiled-down the essence of all the great engines in Jensen's 80+ year history and combined them, this is what you would get.  It has everything!  A riveted boiler with a tube sight glass in a plain, black firebox.  Dark blue painted cast iron bases for both engine and generator. A very well running #20 that effortlessly powers the generator with a spare pulley to power more.  Everything sitting on a rustic-looking board with brass tag.

The improvements are subtle and tasteful: a brass plug that actually holds the chimney and a nice upgrade from the Hayco strain relief.

Super job!
