Live Steam refers to a model or miniature steam engine that operates using real steam generated from boiling water. These models can be powered by various fuels, including coal, wood, or propane, and are often used in hobbyist applications, such as model railroads or stationary engines. Enthusiasts of Live Steam enjoy building and operating these models, which can range from small, portable engines to large, intricate setups. The experience of watching a miniature steam engine in action provides a unique insight into the mechanics of steam power, reminiscent of the steam locomotives that once dominated transportation.
