S. Berliner, III's Reference Page for the

Long Island Live Steamers (LILS)

The Long Island Live Steamers, Inc.

[this reference page was separated out from S. Berliner, III's RAILROAD page
and then from his LIRR page; you might wish to refer to them, also.]

This site has now been visited times since the counter was installed.

Long Island Live Steamers (LILS) - A great group of miniature live steam (and diesel and electric) operators running at mostly 1½" scale (also some 1" and rare 3/4") in Southhaven Park at the intersection of William Floyd Parkway (Suffolk County Route 46) and Sunrise Highway (U.S. Route 27).

LILS has its own Home Page

(at least as of 14 Feb 2000)

Go to http://www.trainweb.org/lils/
for all running schedules and any other current information

SOME OTHER LIVE STEAM LINKS:

Ron Stewart's LIVE STEAMING LINK - this is now on a new server,
Roger Luxley's LIVING STEAM RAILWAYS page from England
(which uses WAV - so beware), and
STEAM IN THE GARDEN.

A quadruple-threat site is John Woodson's Stanley Steamers site; all about Stanley, Doble, White, and other steamcars, steam engines, steam locomotives, and steamboats - what more could one given to the vapors want?

See also HOW TO BOOT A STEAM LOCOMOTIVE or
How to hostle without really tiring -
(Firing up a cold oil burner - 1:1 scale, that is).

Also dear to my heart are early Boxcab Oil-Electrics (Diesels) and you should take a look at the Blue Ridge Lines, a live-steam operation where they operate #74, a 1½"-scale boxcab (it also appears on my Boxcabs Continuation Page under Modeling Notes).

There is another in work but the group does not wish publicity.

The amateur machinist should know of Sherline's site and of ModelTec Magazine
(these are recommended by others - they are not in my line but I do know they are top-notch references).

There is an incredible simulation program by Charlie Dockstadter on steam valve gear available on the Alaska Live Steamers VALVE GEAR ON THE COMPUTER page.
