| Welcome to the Upstate Steamers page! We
are a group of "small scale" live steam enthusiasts, from various areas
around We
are not an "official" club..there are no dues, no officers, none of
that. Anyone
is welcome at the steamups. have an engine to run?
We
operate "G gauge" live steam locomotives, operating on 45mm track.
"Live
Steam" means that these models are powered by fire and water! just like
full-size steam locomotives. Various types of fuel (butane, alcohol,
even
real coal!) heats up the water in the boiler, the heated water turns to
steam, the expanding steam pushes the pistons in the cylinders,
which
then turn the wheels! no electricity needed!
