Garden railways, in smaller scales(that cannot pull a "live" person nor be ridden on), offer the benefits of real steam engines (and at lower cost and in less space),but do not provide the same experience as operating one's own locomotive in the larger scales and ridingon (or behind) it, while doing so.One of the most famous live steam railroads was Walt Disney's Carolwood Pacific Railroad around his California home; it laterinspired Mr. Disney to surround his planned Disneyland amusement park with a working, narrow gauge railroad.The live steam hobby is especially popular in the UK, USA, and Australia. All over the world, there are hundreds of clubs andassociations as well as many thousands of private backyard railroads. The world's largest live steam layout, with over 25 miles(40 km)of 7-1/2" trackage is Train Mountain in Chiloquin, Oregon, USA. Another notable layout is the one operatedby Los Angeles Live Steamers or the Riverside Live Steamers.ScaleA live steam locomotive is often an exact, hand-crafted scale model. Live steam railroad scales are generally referred to by the numberof inches of scale per foot. For example, a 1:8 scale locomotive will often be referred to as a 1-1/2 scale locomotive. Commonmodelling scales are 1/2"(1:24), 3/4"(1:16), 1" (1:12), 1-1/2" (1:8), 2-1/2" (~1:5) and 3" (1:4).GaugeRailroad gauge refers to the distance between the rails. The ridable track gauges range from 2-1/2" to 15", the mostpopular being in the 4-3/4" to 7-1/2" range. Gauges from 10" (254 mm) and up are called "MiniatureRailways" (in the USA these are known as "Grand Scale Railroads"), and are used mostly in amusement parkrides and commercial settings.Often the gauge has little to do with the scale of a locomotive since larger equipment can be built in a narrow gauge railwayconfiguration."This information found:Wikipedia EncylopediaFind more Live Steam Trains Here:Live Steam TrainsLive Steam Trains Powered By RingsurfThis site is part of an Internet Site-Ring Community hosted at World of Newave Previous - List: livesteam - Home: livesteam - Forum: livesteam - Join - Next
