You have it running beautifully, certainly was one heck of a bargain.

Thank you Bruce! That means a lot to me. I saw one of your videos describing the type of oil you use on the Jensen generator’s bearings but I can’t seem to find it again. Something about it’s more electrically conductive? The generator is pretty powerful on this one as it burned out a bulb rather quickly and I believe it was a 3 volt one too!

The #20 is my favorite Jensen.    Nice runner and looks good.  Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Travis! Hopefully you will have one someday. I waited about 20 years for mine. But you’ve got some very nice steam plants. I really like your PM Research number 3.

Thank you!  I really like the Hybrid style using a Jensen boiler.  Jensen makes the best small boilers I’ve found. They are sturdy, robust, hold pressure, and conduct heat VERY well!

I have gotten mine up past 50 psi without an issue.

Hi Mike, Congrats again!

Your 20-G looks and runs great..!!!

Gil

Thanks Gil. I’m very pleased with it.

Video won't play. Premiers tomorrow.

I was experimenting with the settings. It should work now, Tommy.

Oh yeah it's working now. Good running engine Mike, but what else should we expect,
it's a Jensen.

I agree Tommy!

Congratulations Mike!!!

In my opinion NOTHING beats a #20 when it comes to bang for the buck....and yours certainly cements that statement fimly in place.
