Re: Licensing question

In one word, NO. The state does however require an annual state inspection of all power boilers not under someone else's jurisdiction (FRA). A friend of mine, Alex Schneider and I built a 6 inch to the foot scale live steam 2-6-2 and even built our own boiler. We got a certificate and had it it inspected by the state each year we operated it. Alex also use to own a 1910 vintage J.I. Case 60 horsepower steam tractor and the same was true with it also.
Scale model boilers are exempt from state regulation unless used in commercial service.
