Live steam? - O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum
There have indeed been recent builders and operators of modern American-pattern live-steam locomotives in 1:48. I had an acquaintance with a former club member who spent his most recent years running live steam out doors; specifically a replica of a UP FEF 4-8-4 with which he pulled a long string of Kasiner cars with. I'll try and find the video …

Live steam means just that. Live steam. That is what makes them go. In "G" gauge, they are remotely controlled. At least the ones I observed once at a get together several years ago. Yes, they are expensive because of the workmanship to create such beautiful scale reproductions. I have seen prices for G scaled locomotives well into the high thousands. As for O, I cannot speak on prices as I ...
Live Steam in O Scale? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum
I saw a live steam US style O scale locomotive in the trading pits of the 2010 or 2011 TCA convention, but it was missing the tender. It was a Pacific type.

Live Steam toy trains 0 Gauge - O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum
Nice locomotives. But it looks like they are running on S gauge track not O. I wouldn't mind having some of mine own. Now watching this, a thought came to me. We run trains on metal rails with electricity running in them. What if we heated the water with that electricity, like electric water heaters, only instead of getting hot water for our showers we …

For G-gauge (45mm) track use 2" channel: ... If you are setting up an O-scale garden layout, why not save money on your straight-a-ways by using 1.5" steel bar channel? It should be 1.25" between the legs, which would extend 0.375" above the web.

Agree with others, electric heating uses resistance to do that, and it would not work at 18v@6a. Put it this way, even at their lower setting, small electric space heaters are at 600 watts....so doing this on a toy train layout in a safe way would be a non starter. Besides, part of the fun of live steam is that alcohol has been used to generate steam (probably not on trains I would suspect ...
