Wow Bruce, that is really something!

A hundred years from now some Jensen aficionado is going to be scratching his head for certain and for sure!!!

You could very well be right Daniel,  or maybe...just maybe someone might remember that a little one man shop in St.Paul In. Had a propensity to do one off conversions of the weird and strange. 😄

Not weird and strange at all Bruce, but a classically designed (in the German overtype style), highly functional and might I even say, actually elegant representation of a very desirable all-in-one steam plant.

Thank you Daniel 😊
I did study dozens of overtype steam engines on YouTube and came up with what you see above, I wanted very much to have the flywheel forward of the piston assembly but I really wasn't willing to do that much drilling & filling on such a pristine unit. The Jensen #35 seems to be one of my favored units to modify...generally inexpensive, powerful  & highly adaptable to what I'm trying to accomplish.I have build photos if anyone's interested in the process.
