Welcome to the
Finger Lakes Live Steamers

The membership of Finger Lakes Live Steamers has disappointing news. After 55 years of operation, due to unforeseen circumstances, we unfortunately are unable to welcome the public to the Finger Lakes Live Steamers club at this time. Stay tuned for further information about the opportunity for us to welcome the public in the future.

OUR MISSION

The Finger Lakes Live Steamers is an organization of people interested in building and operating large scale model railroad equipment. The purposes for which the Finger Lakes Live Steamers was formed are:

  1. To foster the construction and operation of model trains by providing and maintaining a publicly available facility for large scale model railroading.
  2. Maintenance of a reference library for the use of students, teachers, and scholars interested in steam, diesel, and electric locomotion and railroading.
  3. Encouraging research, writing and preservation regarding the history of steam, diesel, and electric locomotion and railroading.
  4. Promotion of activities which stimulate the public and particularly young persons to know more about steam, diesel and electric locomotion and railroading.
  5. Promotion of public awareness and particularly among young persons of safety precautions in and around railroading activities.
  6. Promotion of public interest in the future of rail transportation.

Locomotives are powered by steam, internal combustion, or electric batteries. Our members are experienced in railroading, machine shop practice, model building and related activities. Skills in these areas are quickly attained and we welcome anyone with an interest in this hobby and a desire to learn.

Members often work on projects at the club on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Members regularly run trains on Saturday afternoons from the middle of May through the middle of October. See the Schedule of Events for more information.
