Enjoyed seeing Kevin on Saturday with his CocaCola train.

THANK YOU to everyone who came out to our Fall Open House last weekend! Even with the rain on Sunday, we had a great turnout both days. We love sharing our club and trains with the community and are so glad to see so many enjoying the experience. We wouldn't be able to do this without your generosity and all of our members and volunteers. A special thanks to the Boy Scouts for assisting with running our kitchen and selling food for us. Be sure to like and follow our Facebook page or check our website for information on all upcoming events. If you were unable to make it, but wish to make a donation visit fingerlakeslivesteamers.org/donate/ ... See MoreSee Less

Reminder: today is the last day of our open house weekend event. Rain looks like it will clear and we will have another beautiful day.
**Parking Lot Opens At 9:45 AM and Closes At 3:30 PM. RIDES ARE FROM 10 AM 4 PM **
Cash is our preferred payment method as we don't have a credit card machine or ATM on site. We do accept venmo or paypal donations on our webpage. We want everyone on the property to enjoy the day but also wish to maintain safety on and off our trains. Due to possible crowds, please leave your pets at home.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

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.
