Unveiling Kory Anderson’s Case 150 HP Road Locomotive Steam Engine James Valley Threshers 2018

[@Derbyboy13]

I love the story of this monster.. she's really got me in the mood to play with steam tractors.. my grandfather loved steam when he was a child.. we even had a handmade model at the farm

[@Bryan-wq9vq]

I'm 75 years old and never seen one before very nice very beautiful preciate you showing this to us

[@carterseib223]

People still need to make them more they are the most coolest thing ever thanks dude

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

Man, I still can't get over the massive size of this thing. I can't wait to see it again in Rollag!

[@NickSteam8]

I imagine it will bring a record setting crowd!

Kenny Kizzle It absolutely wonderful to see it there this year. I saw it in the parade & when it did the hill climb. Took pictures and video of both.

That’s what I like about steam effortlessly powerful

[@awilson5636]

There's videos on KZbin of this on a dyno, in which they gave a torque number. If I remember correctly the dyno was measuring in excess of 5,000 lb/ft and the pulley on the dyno was smaller than that of the steam engine, which put the steam engine at a mechanical disadvantage.

[@trulyinfamous]

I've read that the Case 150hp tractor can pull up to 50 tons. That is amazing.

[@jpsholland]

European road locomotives, mostly English or German build could pull up to 120 metric tons. This one is bigger so is estimate he can pull about 200 metric tons.

[@BalticFilms144]

Well that came out of nowhere! I didn't think they got it done that fast!

[@catey62]

Lol..the Cat front end loader had trouble getting it out the shed. yet I can bet that once they had a full head of steam on that thing it would drag the Cat backwards even if it was at full throttle.

[@Bullfrog307002]

It generates so much torque that it will out pull most modern tractors.

Back in the days these machines were at work, time didn't count as the wages were very low. Nowadays everything must be done in a hurry. Time was cheap and machinery was expensive. Now time is expensive and machinery is (relative) cheap.

Did those behemoths actually work farm ground, if so the acreage had to be massive just to turn around in the field. The crew to run them and work the implements had to be more than two. What a great machine loved to see them run.

[@kylekenan2321]

Think it could pull a 13 shank ripper?

That steam tractor is new.

[@jpsholland]

That must have been a hell of a job to restore this machine in its former glory.

[@jamesglenn520]

It's not a restoration. They only built 9 and then recalled and stopped production. He found a set of blueprints in the old factory and built this from the ground up.

Caleb Grill Yes! You must make it to a future outing of the 150 and get the experience in person!

[@calvinehlert4756]

now that this locomotive has been built, I wonder if any one will try and build a 110 HP Case with crawler tracks! there was a history channel program on that showed them being used to move some very large buildings in the first part of the 20th century.

[@theant9821]

Very impressive, but being British, i still reckon these things look odd, my eyes are calibrated to British ones. But still its a incredible piece of engineering, like the LNER Doncaster/Darlington works trains they've been building continuations of in Darlington as no originals survived diesels takeover on the railways. Must be an intimidating sight to oncoming traffic.

We have a Marshall at one of our local shows and it sure gets a lot of confused looks from others.

[@theant9821]

@@NickSteam8 my grandad worked at Marshalls in Gainsborough, that factory now is a shopping centre and half was demolished for a supermarket (tesco). Any ruston engines over there? I work for what used to be Rustons.

[@theant9821]

@Made UP i see a bigger flatter country needs bigger trains and traction engines, other than showmans engines there is little evidence of style in British industrial and agricultural steam engines, horses for courses and with narrow roads, steep hills, smaller farms and shorter distances between places larger vehicles were not required, and less practical. Just because our fast trains like mallard and the Scotsman were built with asthetics in mind too most of the workhorses weren't. Style didn't cross many minds until after steam was obsolete, see all the period photos an the rollers, traction engines and often even the likes of mallard and the Scotsman ect. Were filthy, well maintained often but not pampered, during and after the war they had a hard time with rebuilding a bankrupt Britain covered in bomb craters and full of widowed women and men who had returned in a poor condition to a country that had been financially decimated by Germany and America. Style wasn't much of great importance from the 1st world war onwards as that cos us dearly in manpower and financially and not enough time to recover for ww2. If we were talking about pre ww1 architecture i would agree with you but regarding steam engines getting the job done to the highest standard was always the main aim of the game, your stuff would be worthless to us and ours worthless to you as we both needed different ways to efficiently power our different countries, situations and landscapes. Your stuff would probably ideal in Australia where as ours across Europe.

[@theant9821]

@Made UP most likely, and most engines that have been restored are given a lot more in regards to asthetics then they ever did before 1970. You'll see the famous express trains that have always looked the part and the surviving engines that are now only pampered, few look like they graft now like they all had too then.
