to the dumbass holding the camera... how about keeping it pointed at the engine when something interesting happens? rather than deciding to point the camera at the tree tops?
This is yet another task this machine wasn't designed for. Had the boiler exploded during this demonstration, the driver, the men women and children standing in the background would have been eviscerated. There are purpose built bombs that are not as effective as a boiler explosion. This machine is nearly 150 years old. How much do you think it can take?
@IFlick Why woould the boiler explode during this? The fact is with it at that angle the crown sheet is most certainly covered in water. It probably did uncover some tubes but that isn't a problem. Flue failures never cause any serious injury or issue.
@Polybun You know it was the crown sheet that failed at The Madena Fair Grounds 110 Case Explosion. Crown sheet completely exposed. Surely you would agree, they shouldn't be raced across the fair grounds or in pull offs. Hill climbing probably isn't such a great idea either. These are antiques. I think we have to step away and think about some of the reasons we replaced this technology in the first place.
@IFlick I don't agree. These machines are made for working. So what if one explodes once in a while? You only live once. Operated properly and they have no problems. Working them hard isn't any more stressfull on the boiler than just sitting there steaming. The pressure inside remains the same (if the safety works.) By your ideals, they would never be steamed at all and would just be left to rot.
There are tons of steam hobbyists in Ohio, they have one of the largest steam shows every year. It wasn't the core of the Ohio hobby around the Medina 110 either, the 5 victims were the owner, his son, and three friends. Incompetence is the only danger with a steam engine.
The crown sheet certainly isn't going to be exposed during a hill climb. The reason steam engines were replaced was economy. It is much cheaper to run gasoline/diesel tractors.

@marty264 True, I know little about boilers/steam. I do know about when they blow up. July 29, 2001, Medena County Fair Grounds, Ohio. There is no one left in the State of Ohio who knows anything about traction's engines. When a Case 110 blew up, the core of the State's hobbyist were huddled around it. It's three operators and six others were simply blown to bits. Investigators had to be brought in from surrounding States to determine cause. They're rolling shrapnel bombs when things go wrong.
When she stops on the incline and vents steam, is that through a automatic pressure release valve? When I was a kid, a friend of ours in South Jersey had one of these. He also had a Stanley Steamer too. Hell with Al Gore - Steam rules!

Most times on engines this old when the boilers were designed for 125-100 psi
pressure when new, because the iron is so old they run them at only 75-80 psi
and adjust the pressure relief valve accordingly for extra safety. Ordinarily
these old engines would climb any steep grade effortlessly because they
were built for pulling plows through heavy soil.

Does it have a steam leak? At 0:49, it looks like steam is chuffing out of openings on the boiler.

The valve relieves the pressure and condensate as the piston is pushed forward
by the higher pressure power strke.

He must have the pop-off set at lower
pressure because the steam tractors I
remember could chug up mountains
pulling log haulers. Its so old now that
he probably don't want to risk a boiler
