Jensen Style 25 live-steam model engine

In the basement last night looking for something to do, I came across one of these steam engines, which I completely forgot I had. Unfortunatly the one I found isn't operational so I tracked down this one and fired it up. Runs a little rough, needs new gaskets and some oil (kind of concerned about the cylinder, as it doesn't have any compression, but it obviously works) but otherwise it seems pretty nice. I don't really know much about these but I've had a fun day of messing around with it.

The other one I found is an Empire model 43. I'm missing the power cord, valve, whistle is frozen, and the boiler has some dents, but I'm thinking it might be a nice little restoration project.
