It's a long way from Pensylvania US to West Yorkshire UK, via Minneosta, but this little Jenson made it OK!
When Nick decided to off-load his Jenson 60, I could hardly believe my luck when I was the first to respond and was offered it.
I had a good look at some Jenson engines at STIA and was very taken with them.
Anyway, here's a couple of vids of her first UK steaming. Apologies for my wife's occasionally overheard comments - she was browsing the 'net for show tickets and making the odd verbal exclamation (like you do) not realising that I was doing a 'Ken Russell'.
So listen to the sounds of this delightful little engine and enjoy...

Super little engines aren't they, I love my model 60.
That's a great workshop by the way

Er...well it all depends on the declared value doesn't it? I paid very little for the engine but the postage was hugely expensive, if you get what I mean.

...and thanks for the compliments about the workshop. I'll get it finished and post up a feature on it.

Glad to see it's running great! Thanks for the video Stephen!
