This is just totally AWESOME!

Travis, you have no idea what a lucky boy you are, but even if you do, you really don't!!

Meanwhile, Charlie, what an incredible gesture and amazing amount of trust you show. You are "THE MAN" for certain and for sure!!!

All you really need to know about the Jensen 50 is it was the absolute top of the Jensen production line, and forms the heart of the amazing special-order Jensen 51 of which very few were ever built, mostly for powerplant demonstrators and operations training.

Perhaps from a historical perspective, the Jensen 50 has secured its place as being the steam engine that produced the first ever Nuclear Powered electricity!

At this point, I believe it will be best to let Gil tell you that history via a video that he made a few years back, as seen here:
