Funny you should reply, perfect timing I was gonna reach out and tell you you have a wonderful Jensen website. Very nicely done and your collection is Museum Worthy! it rivals the jensen museum page!
U know if you talk to Dorita at Jensen you can get on the waitlist for the new model 50 correct? I just dont know its length or turn around time. Its half deposit upfront rest before shipping.
Im gonna be putting a 20g and 55g video up running my 2 jensen shops together soon, I was going to last night but the neighbors waterline broke [rubber toilet pipe] so the house was without water [yes i use 95% distilled for the engines but not for me!]
I love running the 2 jensens side by side.
I am very absent minded so Im actually working on a light up timer switch to let you jnow the Jensen is on and running. They only last about 18 to 22 minutes from Cold start to where i stop to refill. They drink steam.
now with the timer I wont boil them dry by accident and the indicator light will alert me they are plugged in. Not built yet but Ill share when complete. was gonna be an evening project this week yhe parts and wiring are set just need the box.
As for the Marx windup. I dont believe you can just attach a whistle unit to the windup. they share the common plate but many extra little parts and subtle changes make it what i deem a 1 type engine [it is the 635?] that wont match others. If u get one it most likely will have a broken spring. thats easy to replace but getting a spring seems like its needed from a working donor unit [which no other parts would be usable]. getting the spring out takes some finesse and tempering it to fit in the slot takes a bit of patience but if u ever need help let me know.
Have a great day!
