Our Mission

The Kansas Antique Engine Show Safety Association, Ins. was incorporated March 30, 1976 as a non-profit Kansas corporation. Our goal is to establish and enforce rules and regulations for the inspection and operation of antique steam boilers as well as hobby and model boilers fired for public demonstration in the State of Kansas. Authorized by the Kansas legislature as part of the Kansas Boiler Safety Act, KSA 44-913, the Association's commissioned inspectors are licensed Special Inspectors by the State of Kansas.

KANSAS ANTIQUE ENGINE SHOW SAFETY ASSN. (KAESSA) STEAM SCHOOL

When: April 13-14,2024

Where: Meriden, Kansas 66512

Tuition: $60.00

Tuition covers handouts, breakfast, and lunch both days. Those who are attending both days for the first time will earn 16 hours toward a Kansas operator’s license. Two to three engines will be fired up for use during the school.

Our steam school is designed for beginning and intermediate engineers, and anyone just wanting to learn what makes these impressive traction engines run, with an emphasis on safe engine operation. Topics covered include boiler system components, feed systems, safety appliances, lubrication, terminology, types of engines, start-up from cold, and safety. Additional information will be posted as it becomes available on the KAESSA website and Facebook page.

Class will be limited to 50 students. Watch for information after the first of the year on motels, meet and greet get together the night before. If everyone would get registered early, it will help to know who needs a motel room.

I am taking registrations now.

Share this information on to your friends.

Come join us for lots of learning about steam traction engines, making new friends and a great time.
