1907 Case catalog prices:

9HP simple traction - $1,150

32HP - $2,600

150HP - $4,000 (would be somewhere around $100,000 today)

I’ll have to see if I can find original cost anywhere, but weight is 28 tons dry and 37 tons fully loaded (coal and water)

Don’t know if you’ve ever seen a 110 up close, but here’s the 150’s wheel (without extensions) next to a 110’s wheel (The rear wheels are 8 feet in diameter, the 110 has 7 feet wheels and the front are around 4 feet dia.)

Here’s my son standing next to it pre-unveiling

WOW!  In the video, Kory say's that Case originally made nine of these but none survived so they got the plans
and reproduced this one to specs. I just wonder how much the original ones cost back then compared to this one
today. Also, how much do they figure it weighs?
What a beautiful engine, thanks Nick.

Kory just posted a new video on firing up the 150HP Case. Definitely worth watching if you’ve got 10 minutes to spare
