BASED ON A TRUE STORY!
The story emphasizes hard work, friendship, responsibility, and the power of finding your purpose—timeless values that shape strong character.
Billy the Boiler is rooted in Christian values, showing how faith, purpose, and perseverance guide even the smallest engines through life’s biggest challenges
Inspired by the real-life journey of Kory Anderson building the 150 Case, the world’s largest steam traction engine. Billy the Boiler brings history to life through the eyes of a little engine with a big dream.
"Billy the Boiler" is inspired by the Legendary 150 Case, recognized by the Guinness World Records as the largest steam-powered traction engine ever built. His fearless partner, the Iron Warrior, draws inspiration from Kory Anderson, the modern-day pioneer and master craftsman who brought this mechanical giant back to life. Originally, only nine of these powerful engines were built in 1904, but none survived the test of time—until Anderson recreated one from the ground up in 2018. The incredible build has since captured imaginations around the world, racking up over 50 million views on YouTube!
Over 250+ unique castings were produced for the 150 Case at Dakota Foundry in Webster, SD, home of "Foundry Fundamental" training sessions for students enrolled in the Iron Warrior Academy!
