Sydney Live Steam Locomotive Society was created in 1948.

Hornby Live Steam is a range of Steam Locomotives that operate using real steam. They are controlled via a separate power Controller which is incompatible with existing controllers. The Live Steam locomotive must be run in isolation from other DCC or DC engines. There are several You Tube videos showing the engines in action

Live steam usually refers to a model steam locomotive. The machine is powered by steam which is produced by boiling water. The steam locomotive is like the one at the Disneyland Amusement Park.

A live steam locomotive uses steam created by heating water in a boiler to power its cylinders, which move the pistons and drive the locomotive's wheels. Steam is regulated and directed to the cylinders to create reciprocating motion, which is then converted into rotary motion to move the locomotive forward or backward. The operation of valves controls the flow of steam into the cylinders, enabling the locomotive to accelerate, decelerate, and change direction.

Discover Live Steam is a website dedicated to steam & diesel model railroading. They offer a variety of resources to learn more about railroading including books, calenders, videos, and online articles.
