April, May, June 2010

  • Added new "Steam & Electric Railroad Tab" to website.  It's up but still under construction.  It will feature both the steam and rapidly growing electric train division of the Temple of Steam...nothing beats a little diversity to keep things interesting and I'm having a ball.
  • Expanded the fleet of steam & electric locos...see photo of 1925'ish Bassett-Lowke Mogul live steam loco in the steam loco section.  Lots of cars added too, but still need to photograph them.

  • Finished elevated railway...see that tab under Steam & Electric railways.  Lots of photos of the build process.  This thing has consumed 6 months or so of on and off work, but very satisfied with the results.
  • Repaired website links (Mid-Aug)...repaired broken YouTube links affecting 47 of 51 videos on the website.  Also repaired broken links randomly occuring across website (like 8 of 23 in Restorer's Toolbox).  I have no idea why this happens (sunspots?), but seems to occur at random from time to time.  PLEASE ADVISE IF YOU SPOT ANY BROKEN LINKS...EMAIL ME AT:     templeofsteam@yahoo.com
  • Three new videos added...Jensen 20 Big Power Plant, Jensen 35 Overtype with cast iron flywheel (both under Jensen tab) and Karsten Radial Turbine (under Karsten tab).
  • Major new section on Jensen Chronology & Varieties added...check out the new tab.  One of a kind document, compiled by two leading Jensen collectors, with years of research into Jensen history.  Jensen fans, this section might just answer your engine dating or variety questions.
