[Steam-engine] hobby boilers

You can add WV to the non-code state list.  My Peerless is non-code.

> The reason I divided the boilers into three categories is that here in my
home state(TN), it does not matter if your boiler has no deterioration and
you have the ultrasound results to prove it, if it is a historic traction
engine boiler, you will not operate over 100psi.  And its only downhill from
there.  One gentleman I met claims to have the only traction engine state
certified to operate over 100psi and this is by virtue of having a nearly
new Terning built ASME welded boiler.
> So far the states that I have located that allow the operation of non-code
boilers are as follows: IN, IL IA, KS, PA, TX, CA, WA, OR, FL, MI, MN, GA,
SC, MS, OK, and Ohio.  Ohio rules are of course in a state of change.  I
think I left out a east coast state.  This is a list compiled from what I
have gleaned from reading many, many state rules and regulations, personal
observation, and what I have learned from others.  Thanks for the
information on the West Coast, I could not find any information at all on
CA.  If anyone has any information to the contrary, or wishes to add to this
list, all additions or corrections will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks and
good steaming!
