I had the boiler re-nickel plated & took the fire box down to bare metal & repainted it. I realized after I made the video the I had neglected to oil the engine after cleaning....it ran so much better once I had done that. please enjoy.

The re-nickled boiler really makes that baby look great...same for the shiny firebox with more depth of paint than Mr. J ever applied! Sweet runner too.

Have a couple of engines here with the same type firebox, and find them a fine proof of the old Jensen tradition, of using up every usable part in stock. #Post#: 11187-------------------------------------------------- Re: Jensen #70 with unique firebox By: Stoker Date: July 6, 2019, 2:39 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Repurposing applicable parts .... A Jensen Tradition from years gone by! That one looks better than sales shelf new ... very nice job Bruce!!! #Post#: 11189-------------------------------------------------- Re: Jensen #70 with unique firebox By: txlabman Date: July 6, 2019, 2:44 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Excellent work Bruce! Thank you for posting this fine engine! #Post#: 11207-------------------------------------------------- Re: Jensen #70 with unique firebox By: Jim Date: July 6, 2019, 6:51 pm --------------------------------------------------------- That new plating on the boiler looks the bees knees Bruce. #Post#: 11226-------------------------------------------------- Re: Jensen #70 with unique firebox By: Nick Date: July 6, 2019, 9:50 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Nice one Bruce, I think I have one like that here and I know I have a Cooper Bros with the same firebox. Your re-plated boilers make me very tempted to have a few of mine re-done 8) #Post#: 11252-------------------------------------------------- Re: Jensen #70 with unique firebox By: Randy Tucker Date: July 7, 2019, 10:55 am --------------------------------------------------------- Nice job Bruce.
