You are responsible for your
own safety - it is up to you to educate yourself on safe
construction and operating practices before starting any project
involving live steam.
All content presented
in these pages is for informational purposes only and does not
constitute an endorsement or recommendation of any particular
technique, component, or design practice. The
sole purpose of this website
is to document the way in
which I built my first live steam locomotive.
It is up to each individual visiting
this site to research and decide for themselves the suitability and
safety of any techniques, components, or design practices they may
wish to employ in their own practice.
When approached correctly,
building and operating live steam locomotives can be a safe and enjoyable
hobby. There are many books available in the hobby to guide and educate the novice. Check with one or more of the
online live steam discussion groups for recommendations.
