EXCITING NEWS! We’re celebrating the 50th Anniversary James Valley Threshing Show in Andover, SD on Sept 6-8, 2024 (home of the 150 Case)! And after, we’re headed to ALBANY, MINNESOTA on September 11-15, 2024 for the Albany Pioneer Days! #SteamisKing


overview

THE 150 HP CASE IS THE LARGEST STEAM TRACTION ENGINE EVER PRODUCED. Built originally in 1905, zero of them ever lived on – until recreated from scratch in 2018 by Kory Anderson.

The journey of the multi-year build was followed by more than 10,000 followers on Facebook and eventually led to more than 20+ MILLION views on YouTube with his legendary “engine pull” in September 2019 at the Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion (WMSTR) in Rollag, Minnesota, followed by the 2022 historic 50-bottom pull in Andover, SD. This site is a place for steam engineers and hobbyists to learn more about bringing the 150 Case to life.
