It's been 3 years with NOTHING on the internet to follow up on, but now, that 150 Hp Case Steam Road Locomotive I posted about in '15 is getting a public unveiling Sept 7th!


all made from scratch, with a foundry and machine shop, the old fashioned way!








I recommend taking the video speed up to 2x

They were 25 feet long, 10 wide, and had 8 feet tall rear wheels
Each wheel weighs 6,500 lbs and the flywheel weighs 1,500 lbs.

Come join us at the James Valley Threshing Show, Andover, South Dakota, for the unveiling of the 150 Case Road Locomotive! The event will be the first public display of the engine and will include presentations and a ceremony recognizing all the people that brought this engine back to life.

  3. I think you have the weight and horsepower mixed up, in the title...

    This past weekend, I stopped in Canandaigua NY for the New York State Steam Associations Pageant of Steam...
    Many steam tractors and old "oil pulls" roaming around and being out to work on threshers, hay balers, a saw mill, and a sled for tractor pulls...
    I'll post a video to my FB page of a couple things I took shots of..

    1. Good point. The wheels alone are only 7 tons.
