https://youtu.be/ahujN2HPxG8 https://youtu.be/rOqR1QG30iY https://youtu.be/Bn6pYh44f6Y This weekend was a historical one seeing the first brand new steam traction engine built since the 1920s and it's not just any steam engine it's the world's largest the 150 case. The front wheels alone are almost six feet tall and the engine dwarfs even the mighty 110 case. The Anderson family of Andover south Dakota have rebuilt one from blue prints from case over the span of ten years. With only nine built and only one boiler surviving they started from scracth and re cast and remade each individual part truly a monumental feat at four thousand man hours and 1.5 million dollars. The specs on it will scare ya to 75k pounds with three tons of coal and three tons of water in the bunker and five hundred gallons in the boiler it's heavy ,. A horse power rating somewhere near 250 and 8k torque it's quiet the monster. Standing fourteen feet tall and an operating psi of 185 it's the biggest and best . They have every other model case steam engine but this one so they figured well let's just build it lol. It truly is something to behold my videos don't do it justice |

A beautiful monster, you could get nose bleed being that high in the air to operate it and what a set of plows

You read correctly and the operator said they could have easily done 12 more bottoms he hardly had the throttle opened. Originally they pulled a fifty with it in Kansas but had to run the water so low it was a bit dangerous |

Not the first new traction engine since the 20's. There was a Holt built in Cailf. a few years ago and I believe several have been built in England.
