Jensen Steam Engine 25 (Modified)

See it Run, Raging Fire and Hot Steam, and a Whistle.
This is an old Steam toy from the 60's or 70's. It was butchered-up when I got it. It was originaly a electric heated model but someone has modified it to burn solid fuel. It is a strong runner and fun to watch. ... (more)

how do you make it whistle?

[jds44]

@chechubelo There is a miniature whistle, you turn a valve and steam is blown through the whistle.

did you modify the steam engine smoke stack to smoke or did it come like that?

[jds44]

I added a pipe to the exhaust and routed it to the stack. I have taken it off recently because it caused too much back-pressure and slowed the engine down.

My dad's always wanted one of those

nothing like an exhaust mod to make it go better:)

nice..these are sooo much fun.. but it seems like the seals are all worn out on mine.. I gotto find a way to refurbish mine to get it running smoothly again... I've run it several times perhaps over 20 or 30..

Still available

The still sold "dry fuel" model is Model #75

Electric model is #25

I imagine the heating element is the only significant difference.

As a kid in the 80s I had one and used sterno instead of the expensive dry fuel pellets.

Wish it had been easier get accessories.
