Jensen 35/25 steam engine's
« on: December 18, 2022, 04:54:21 pm »
Hello folks
this dbl power plant idea came to me while watching the Andy Griffith show in bed last night, I was gifted the heavy flywheel Jensen #25, but it had no boiler assembly, I had a nice Jensen #35  & thought...why cant I marry the 2 together, & so that's what I did. I just had to make 2 bushing/bolts to connect  the steam line & whistle up and "Bobs your uncle" it works better than I expected.

Fun combo-engine Bruce, well done  :)

I made a similar build about a decade ago, back when my partsdrawer mostly had Wilesco parts in it.
Back then, my base engine was a Wilesco D16, which had the boiler/engine from a D141 implanted.
The D141 workshop engine, is pretty neat for such a project, having its own steamvalve, but the setup does require a bit of modification to the D16 steamline.
Unfortunately i have no pics left, except for this little cropping, which show the engine before the D16 had its steamline altered.

that's pretty neat Jan, if you hadn't have told me it would have been hard to notice anything was different, neat build.

Bruce, what a great way to marry up some orphan parts and voila...another unique SPS creation that works flawlessly.
