The steam may be used to operate stationary or moving equipment.Ī live steam machine or device is one powered by steam, but the term is usually reserved for those that are replicas, scale models, toys, or otherwise used for heritage, museum, entertainment, or recreational purposes, to distinguish them from similar devices powered by electricity, internal combustion, or some other more convenient method but designed to look as if they are steam-powered.


Live steam is steam under pressure, obtained by heating water in a boiler. High Lines are a configuration of a continuously elevated track and riders sit side-saddle or with legs straddling the track depending on lineside clearances. This engine runs on a track gauge of 3.5 inches and is powerful enough to pull several people.
