If you have ever experienced the smell of steam oil mixed with steam and coal soot? The steam engine pulsating at a stationary station position, the pant of the injectors supplying water to the boiler, really this is what live steam is all about, It is a moment in life. Welcome to my hobby and for those that want to pursue the dream of ever owning a live steam locomotive then you may need to talk to me. The locomotive leaves the station, cylinders cold from sitting and the cylinder cocks wide open hissing out steam each side by each piston stock as the engine gathers momentum. This is 7.25 Live Steam Locomotion at its best.

My locomotives are a 442 Atlantic, 462 Pacific, 464 Hudson, 482 Mountain and 484 Northern.
I support all these locomotives with plans, castings, and continual free support so if you want to build a live steam locomotive then you need to talk to me.
