What a great gift. Thanks to Indianarog for a bit of help on the restoration. The pictures don't do this engine justice.

I keep coming back and looking at this one. This era is soo... right! Everything is proportioned so well, the
base is the right size, got that fat SV, rivets, and of course, the firebox is black! I don't know what you had
to do to fix it up, Alan, but I sure like it.

Alan, you have got to be thrilled with the results of that restoration from appearance to running like a Swiss watch...absolutely gorgeous job. My contribution was VERY small...a few electrons

You really nailed the robins egg blue, a difficult color to match. Another Jensen given a new lease on life for the next 75 years!
