Breathtaking!

Wow what jensens don't you have. ( :

[IndianaRog]

Oh, there are a few of the riveted type I do not have such as a Jensen 50 and I've chosen to not collect Jensen's hobby line.

I prefer the older, collector types with the cast iron engine frames mounted to wood.

[vulcangunner58]

First class collection,...everything looks great!

[NationalMan]

How much did it cost to build that Jensen flagship 51 with the water tower? Thats a great model.

[superfunnyman123]

you need a Jensen model 76!

[IndianaRog]

I have a 76 and a 60 in mint, boxed storage...I pick them up from time to time use them as gifts to introduce friends and/or their children to the hobby. They are a fine little engine that can be had quite cheaply off eBay...lots of them out there.

[daveroussel]

Wow this is superb collection!

I am not an expert in this field, sorry for the naive question,

Did you buy the engine kits or built the engines (from plans) ??

[IndianaRog]

Virtually all were factory made...Jensen, Mamod and Wilesco are still in business.

The only engine you see on the video tour that represents a lot of construction on my part is the Jensen 51 replica. Only 27 were ever made, so I made the 28th!!

Magnificent collection Roger. Simply breathtaking!

[jamespetts2]

I love that replica Jensen 51, and that new Fleishmann is rather lovely, too. Also, can't beat the Stuarts :-)

[IndianaRog]

I did have a Steamco, but sold it on...I gotta love 'em or I sell 'em. Steamco's are nice engines though, just not my thing.

[machinenut]

I thought you had a Steamco 01?

[ntrains]
