Fun video Bruce, that #60 is still the cutest little wood based Jensen I’ve ever seen 😍

Great video
Love steam engines, especially older German made.  Love the more clockwork style.  Addicted to this stuff!

I had forgotten how powerful it was Jan , it had plenty of power left to drive more accessories.

I love the look of the wood based Jensen 60!

Great seeing it in action with a couple nice accessories, too.

Nice Video Bruce, the Black boiler with bright metal chimney is a NICE looking combo. I also like the step pulley on engine for multi gearing options.
  That swing accessory responds nicely to RPM changes, you got mild to Wild and everything in between...well done!

Great engine and setup Bruce--but I wouldn't want to be on the swings!

Thanks Ben , very little of the #60 plant is stock , Jensen never made a smooth side vintage fire box setup , it also has a #70 dbl acting cylinder assembly on it, so it is quite powerful.

For riding along on the carousel, this is probably more my speed.😂 Very nice.
