Only a couple of days ago, since i last speculated what you where working on...and then this comes up :-) A great looking and quite advanced plant you´ve built there, very well done Bruce !
Nice job Bruce! That is the Best Model steam plat I have seen , it lookes so much better than the big wilesco plants. That fly wheel spins so true! Congrats on that functioning governor that really is exciting
Hey Paul. First I appreciate the craftsmanship it’s awesome. Second how much did that cost to modify from a regular Jensen 20 to a 20GG? Thanks. If I ever save up enough money I might take you up on one
bruceang82 okay, I'm using a mini steam pressure gauge and it would be nice to actually have a whistle instead of replacing the whistle with the pressure gauge, I do have a video on my channel of my Jensen number 25.
Bonjour Bruce, Great plant, and a functional governor is really uncommon. Useful for a static plant, less in a boat :+) How do you manage to operate the governor at the speed you chooze ? Amicalement, Raphaël
I had to run a trial & error set of experiments to get the right combination of chain gears to achieve the governing set speed I wanted to achieve, I went for 15 psi as being the full governed speed working in close relationship to the comfortable working pressure of the safety valve, I can change the governored action by swapping gears out.
How do I add the governor? Like I want to add the same microcosm governor to my Jensen 75 but I'm not sure what I'd do with the piping, do I have to silver solder it or something else?
Simply beautiful
Magnificent Bruce. You have been busy! I hope you make it to NAMES.
Thanks Charlie, I am seriously considering going to names this year.....we'll see I guess.

Thanks Jan !
This is amazing. I'd like a true governor on my Wilesco D21

Very nice information about steam engine. Keep it up.thanks.
Looking good. Awesomeness

thank you, Steve, it took a lot of time, cost ....I haven't calculated, I still have this plant. Bruce
That's just gorgeous!
very cool plant, how much do you charge for a bango fitting pressure gauge?
when ever I have extra's I charge $36.00 inc shipping (to the US)

Nice machine
Very nice!

you have to divert the steam line to go through the Governor & then to the steam chest , some threading of pipe & soldering will be necessary.
Awsome!
I want that!!!
I still have it , fired it twice.
I want one! Lol
Jed....you are more than capable of making one of these : )
Very nice!
