Welcome to the Pennslyvania Live Steamers Website. PLS was founded in 1946 as a live steam railroad club dedicated to the historical and educational goals keyed to the development and preservation of the steam railway tradition in our region of the Northeast.

Members of the Pennsylvania Live Steamers, Inc. are part of the worldwide fraternity of enthusiasts who derive pleasure from constructing true-to-scale passenger-hauling locomotives which develop their motive power using the same principles as their full-sized predecessors. Almost invariably the models display such faithful reproduction of detail that, except for their size, they can hardly be distinguished from the prototype.

The 5 acre club site has 3200 feet of 1-1/2" scale (7-1/4" gauge), 3000 feet of 1" scale (4-3/4" gauge), a multi-gauge loop and an infield Gauge 1 loop. There are two unloading facilities (1 for members and 1 for visiting engineers) as well as handicap facilities for our visitors.

Actual Location is 468 Gravel Pike, Graterford, PA - on SR 29 1/2 mile North of SR 113/SR 29 intersection

Our GPS Coordinates are North 40* 13.012' West 75* 27.162'
