       Jensen #70 with unique firebox
       By: St Paul Steam Date: July 6, 2019, 6:58 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Hi folks, I finished this little #70 up a few weeks ago, it has
       a bit of a unique firebox on it...it was originally a flame
       firebox & it appears Mr. Jensen needed a regular firebox for
       this #70 ,so he just spot welded a piece of metal on both sides
       to cover the holes & viola ,problem solved. 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.

       Bruce, another gem!!! 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.

       A very nice engine, well done making it shine like that Bruce !
       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.

       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)
