hi Kaleb
Live steam is very expensive and time consuming, but one or 2 Trainzers do have some live steam locos, so keep an eye on this forum and they may turn up for you to see.
I think GreyWolfRetired has a real 5" scale 9F if my memory serves me well
I still have my O-gauge live steam loco by Mamod. It is a narrow gauge type loco that used to run on a railway me and my dad constructed in the garden. Even after conversion to a meths-fired loco, it wasn't particularly powerful, and could just about pull one carriage over a dead flat railway.
Anyone else have these steam 'toys'? I also have the Mamod Traction Engine and a 50-year old stationary steam engine.
Best wishes,
Padster
Do you have room in your house for an HO layout?http://www.livesteamlocomotives.com/
A very good site with a place to start, they offer kits and Drawings( For people with the skills and tools)
I've all ways wanted to get one, but there is no point, yard is too small to do anything with and the local club meets only 1 time a month
Well that and the cost

We always had trouble with the solid fuel blocks, Kaleb. They seemed to take ages to heat up the boiler and often the fire went out. Using meths was better, though despite all our efforts the 0-4-0 always struggled and in the end the railway was ripped up, which was a shame as it was a nice feature in the garden.
Best wishes,
