We would like to remind everyone that our 2018 Fall Open house is this weekend September 22 & 23 from 10am to 4pm.

Detour- Currently there is construction on the bridge crossing the thruway on Whiskey Hill Rd. A detour has been setup. Instead of turning onto Whiskey Hill road turn onto Stone Church Road (this is the road prior to Whiskey Hill when approaching from the east) then take a left onto Donnelly Road, finally turn right onto Whiskey Hill Road. The club will be on your right. Unfortunately we have no control over this.

When approaching the club be sure to follow both the signs and our parking staff’s directions. The parking lot will open at 10:00 and close at 3:30. We have a finite amount of parking and need to maximize its usage. Please follow our parking lot attendants directions carefully. After parking you can cross at our controlled crossing by the station. If you have any questions one of our friendly volunteers will gladly assist you.

Free tickets for the train rides can be picked up at the display tent over by the club house. While over there be sure to stop and see the 1” scale train layout and our Large Garden Railroad. Food is available in the club house and all proceeds help us to maintain our facility.

Loading for the large train ride will be located at the station down towards the parking lot. Please be patient for safety reasons we can only move so many people so fast. Our main goal is to safely share our wonderful hobby with you. Please help us accomplish this goal! We look forward to seeing you rain or shine and come enjoy the hobby with us! ... See MoreSee Less

Finger Lakes Live Steamers: This is amazing! Made my first visit to the Finger Lakes Live Steamers club near Clyde, NY today between Rochester and Syracuse. If you like trains, you’ll LOVE it here! This club is celebrating its 49th year and is unlike anything I’ve seen in the region. They have three layouts, two of which you can ride. Their tracks cover about a mile of land. This is a celebration of the rail industry, as if you’ve gone back in time. The folks in the club are hardcore rail fans, many of whom worked in the industry. They have their annual Fall Public Open House this weekend (Saturday/Sunday from 10:00am-4:00pm). Admission is free, if you’re inclined to make a donation, you can. This is TERRIFIC family fun, not to mention enjoyable for anyone who likes trains or model trains. Enjoy these 60 seconds with a conductor cameo from yours truly at the very end. I had a blast shooting this video today! Finger Lakes Live Steamers, Inc. ... See MoreSee Less

OUR MISSION

The Finger Lakes Live Steamers is an educational non-profit 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.
