This website documents the way in
which I built my first live steam locomotive. Sections will be added
as time permits.

When approached correctly,
building and operating live steam locomotives can be a safe and enjoyable
hobby. There are many books available in the hobby that can
guide and educate the novice. Check with one or more of the
online live steam discussion groups for recommendations.
