Probably asked many times before but in honor of my mate Kenneth, (who I bought the Jensen 85 from), show us your Jensen engines and workshops etc. My collection consists of one:

excellent what model do you have
Have a few (#20 - #25 cast-iron base - #35 - #60 - #70 - 2 x #75 & 2 x #15 gennys) and luckily still have a lot on the wanted-list, since everytime i get a new model they seem to amaze me in their own way...
Really do like those Jensens

My very first steam engine that I received in 1964 and still runs great. I all so got a Jensen #100 workshop with it.

Did you paint the handle for the steam valve on your 95g or what? My 95G is one of my 5 favorite Jensen s and thank God it is running but had to do work to it even thaw I bought it new when it was new.

Hi Jeff.
No I didn't paint it, that's all scorching Not sure how
I beleive it was swapped from another engine before I got it.
Forgot to add, out of the only 2 Jensens I own the 95G is my favourite. If I get a 20 that would be my favourite

In ascending order of model number;
#5
#10
#25
#35 (2)
#45
#55
#60 (3)
#75
So 11 in total, and I would post pics but nearly every single engine is in pieces waiting to be either painted, plated, or polished. And for those interested, I am doing a complete year down of the 10 as I have found a way to remove the nails easily and without damaging anything!

Someday I need to do a Jensen family gathering photo like Jeff has done.
Meanwhile here is a listing of my Jensen engines and accessories:
But i am warning you Mick...
If you go and get yourself one with a steamvalve and a Stephenson`s theres no turning back...the Jensen-addiction is strong
I have to agree I like them so much I have 3 of them one never run blue base and 2 stained base. The blue base does have a bad chip on the shapper. Many times I will run the two stained base at the same time on the same engine.
This is the one I got with my Jensen #75 in 1964. I still have the box for it.
