Thanks, i was wondering because i found a jensen with a black painted firebox, that was supposed to be brick embossed copper clad steel late 50's style, BTW, why are you selling your jensen signed turbine?

[IndianaRog]

Selling the Jensen signed turbine because I need the money!!! College tuition is eating me alive and has been for 10 years. It sucks, but so be it.

i saw that you had a black brick stamp pattern that 25 boiler, did you paint that or is that the original paint color?

[IndianaRog]

I painted that Jensen firebox black. I love Jensens, but just can't stand that salmon pink color on their more modern fireboxes. It's easy to paint over !!! You can use any paint on an electric model, but if you repaint a fire breathing model you need VHT (very high temp) paint sold for engine and exhaust painting by auto parts stores.

If you don't mind can you tell me how much that costs?

[IndianaRog]

It cost $55 USD when I purchased it almost 2 years ago, I have seen them recently for $60...still a heck of a deal for a machined engine!
