Where would you dig up one of these?

[Ed Lecuyer]

I understand that one of those lives in the basement of a modern skyscraper town hall, now serving as the boiler to heat the building. I know I read about it a long, long time ago.

[Wayne Laepple]

That, I suspect, is what is classified as an urban legend, Ed. What modern skyscraper do you know of that receives coal deliveries? ;-)

It must be true, I found it on Wikipedia:

I could lend the museum my Case steam traction engine.....but I don't think it has enough power.

Wayne, I didn't get to Rough and Tumble this year.  Did you get the info on the portable engine?  This is what we need.  Also could be used to steam lobster, clams, potatoes and corn for the/a picnic.  It would fit on a flat car, making it really portable.

[Wayne Laepple]

There was a phone number, but I didn't copy it down. The boiler is a lap seam boiler, which is not permissible in Maine.

[Ken Fleming]

I thought it might be a lap seam boiler.  I don't think very many portables were built with butt strap boilers.  Most were built lap seam was good enough.
