So when you are just to old to run the steamer, you and your truck get relegated to haul firewood for the next generation of engineers Actually this was a bit of a lesson day to get a couple of new young men some time on the back of the American West Heritage Centers Case 60hp steam engine. The living history farm is set in 1917, and Saturday was the Pioneer Day Festival at the Farm.
Here is where the real instruction took place. All in all it was a good day, plenty of fun to go around.

How cool! Thanks for posting!

Poisoning the minds of youth with evil notions and ideas of old junk.

I was afraid I’d click on this thread and see my photo…

Thanks for posting.

At first I thought it looked more like Amish country than Mormon country, but then I saw the mustaches.

...an I thought it was Duck Dynasty country..

The magic of Steam! How awesome?
Thanks for furthering it.

That steam engine was made in my home town, Racine, WI.

Great stuff, thanks.

The 60 Case was apparently a real sweetheart. Someone's Elgin-Watch 60 comes to mind.
I've run an 80 and it was an absolute dream to run around with.
