My earliest memories are of my dad working on engines. Now in his 72^nd year, he is ready to present the crowning achievement of his life at the Doughty Valley Steam Days—a meticulously restored vintage 1912 Case 110 horsepower steam traction engine.  A literal mammoth, the Case 110 weighs in at 43,000 pounds ensuring that the seven foot diameter wide-body-wheels have the needed traction to deliver the power at its disposal. Leading edge technology in its day, the Case 110 boasts power steering enabling the operator to steer with ease even when pulling 14 plows on the expansive western plains of the United States.  The Case 110 was rated the most efficient steam engine in its day—delivering the most power with the least amount of coal and water. It had—to be politically correct—the lowest “carbon footprint” of any engine in its class at the time (not that we will be concerned about that when the black smoke billows upward at Doughty Valley J).
