Massachusetts - Pioneer Valley Live Steamers

Southwick, MA. The track at Pioneer Valley Live Steamers (PVLS) consists of 4580 feet of ground level rails and 1140 feet of elevated track. The elevated track has two gauges. The smallest is 3.5 inch gauge, 3/4" to the foot scale and the next is 4.75 inch gauge, 1" to the foot scale. The gauge is the dimension between the rails. The ground level track is 7.25 gauge and most of the engines on this track are made to 1.5 inches to the foot scale. We have recently added support for Gauge 1 track as well with two layouts. The first is a large double loop on aluminum tables for track powered engines. The second layout is generally used to run live steam engines and it has both ground and elevated sections. The elevated section makes steaming up easier
