[Steam-engine] Re:Colorado antique boiler rules/law?

[George Erhart]

Parker,

Thanks for the great info. My family and I will be spending Thanksgiving
week in Colorado to visit relatives and "scope out" the area looking for
where we might want to live. If we end up moving, it would not be until my
kids are out of school next summer.  I will definitely make contact if/when
we get moved out there.

>From your response, it appears that there are no antique boiler rules on the
books in Colorado. You mentioned having inspections, but it did not sound
like they were mandatory. How is the insurance handled at your FRAPA shows?
In Ohio, all engines must have a boiler inspection certificate from the
State and all operators must have an antique boiler operators license. The
insurance companies seem to have accepted this and are back to insuring
shows around here.

Thanks for the info ...
