I just got in my first steam up in a month.
I chose to run (for the first time here) the real nice 1950's Jensen #20G Big Power
Plant that I acquired at Cabin Fever in January.

Hey Gil,

Good to see you taking in a little steam.  Your Big Power Plant runs great and looks great.  I don't feel so bad beating you out to the BIN button last month on the one I got off eBay.  Check the Videos section of the forum, I posted a video of it running last nite.  Solid performers for sure.

Rog

My, that one shines so well that the boiler straps almost are invisible in the video. Beautiful engine.
