Jensen #85ELTF (110V)
« on: November 01, 2020, 08:54:04 pm »
Hello fellow steamers, this is an improved version of one I started awhile back, I added a #75/25 chimney stack & chimney , & a nice wood plinth along with a brass tag. it has twin flywheels riding on 3 stanchions supported by 3 roller ball bearings , the engine is off of a #35 and is now 1/2" bore & double acting along with an immersion rod heater of 300W it is quite powerful for its size & turns over very smoothly & at low pressure (1.5 psi)
