70s Jensen style 60 fired with sterno Posted by: spittenkittens
Video duration: 104 seconds I just got this clean one owner and fired it up with sterno. The first time a few gaskets leaked a little. I oiled up the leather( I think) gaskets and it sealed right up tight. Related: 60, jenson, live, steam, style |

Big Fleischmann running RIGHT Posted by: spittenkittens
Video duration: 143 seconds I had this Fleischmann running once but it didnt sound right. I tried bigger burners for more steam, it wouldnt run. I could not figure out why. Then I realized it has a cam and timing like a car engine sort of. I moved the cam just a little and it took right off. Im using a tiny burner from Mamod and that's all it took. YAHOO!

Rare Empco B43 electric steam engine Posted by: spittenkittens
Video duration: 150 seconds It took about a week to stop all the leaks and get this engine moving, if anyone knows where I can get gaskets and other parts please let me know. I believe this is very similar to the Empire B43. The gauge is not for pressure but is marked in RPM's. It is very well made and needs a little tlc. Related: empco, engine., rare, steam |

Jensen 35 A great runner Posted by: spittenkittens
Video duration: 110 seconds I just got this very nice Jensen 35, in very good shape though it will need a smoke stack. I only takes 4 minutes from when I first plug it in until the fly wheel runs.I does seem odd to me that on such a high quality engine that the flywheel was not painted, as far as I can tell. It runs for several minutes after its unplugged because its so efficient.SWEET! Related: 35, jensen |

Video duration: 55 seconds I just had to see if it could be done. Check the forums if your interested. I would NOT advise it because it might break your computer and it is probably illegal. Related: baby, be, grows, it, mac, up, what, when, will |

Wilesco D10 with cottage water wheel hammer 1948 Posted by: spittenkittens
Video duration: 61 seconds I got this cool little hammer on ebay a few weeks ago and have been wanting to give it a try. There is a sticker on the bottom that is new and saws 1948. There is no information about who made it, any ideas? The alcohol burner I used put out to much heat and water boiled out to fast but still had enough time to run for a minute.
