Bonus Weekend Steam! Engineers and Engines News Flash!

I have been taking Engineeers and Engines for more than fifty years, and I look forward to every issue. Brenda Stant publishes this treasure bi-monthly with a combination of new and old photos, submitted articles and her own writing, plus lots of news about steam engines, gas engines, tractors, railroads, and engine shows.  The current issue which was mailed out this week has big news (Really Big News!) and if you are not currently a subscriber, you need to subscribe right now with this issue.


A young engineer/machinist/foundryman from South Dakota is building an all new 150 HP Case Road Locomotive.  Case built a small number of these more than a century ago and none remain.  There is only a boiler left to show that they actually existed.  This engine project began more than a decade ago when Kory Anderson went to Racine and began mining the Case archives for all the information he could find about the 150 HP engine.  Kory has since been making patterns, casting parts and machining them, and his dream will soon be realized.  The new engine will be unveiled to the world in September of this year in South Dakota. 

Kory's article and other information about the largest Case traction engine is in the April-May issue of Engineers and Engines; a total of 13 pages of new and old photos, plus historical information.  Call Brenda Stant at Engineers and Engines to start your subscription.  E and E is one of those magazines that you save.  The information inside the covers is timeless and you will soon be an expert in old machinery when you read this publication.
