Georgia - Canton, St. Paul and Pacific Railway
Canton, GA - The CSP&P Railway was incorporated in 1999 as a non profit, and tax exempt, educational 501 (c) (3)corporation. It has been organized for the educational purposes of expanding the general knowledge of the role that railroads have played in our lives and history, with a focus on the inventions and developments involved in railroads in America and the world and the metal working and fabrication skills and techniques of this same era.
To further this purpose the corporation will build, operate, and display a realistic miniature railroad based on 7.5" gauge track, collect and display railroad memorabilia, and build a library collection of railroad and metalworking books. The track is located on 12 heavily wooded acres nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains and very near the downtown district of Canton, GA. Plans call for 1 & 1/2 miles of track including three tunnels totaling 200 feet and one high trestle over 100 feet long. A roundhouse, a turntable, hydraulic unloading facilities, and other infrastructure are already in place.

Michigan City, IN - Located in the rural countryside of LaPorte County is Hesston Steam Museum, a unique outdoor museum featuring one of the most varied collections of steam equipment of its kind in the country. The collection includes stationary and traction engines, a steam-operated sawmill, and steam train rides on full-sized and scale model locomotives through 155 acres of natural meadows and forests. The trains range from the "India", a full-size locomotive, to a 14" gauge live steam railroad and a 1 1/2" scale railroad that all run through the woods and over and under bridges.

Locomotive Operators of Central Oklahoma
McCloud OK - Locomotive Operators of Central Oklahoma (L.O.C.O.) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion and enjoyment of large scale model railroading. The scale is 1.5 inches to the foot and the track gauge (distance between the rails) is 7.5 inches making the equipment large enough to ride. The organization owns and operates an outdoor railroad on five acres of land some 15 miles east of Oklahoma City. The track plan is a modified figure eight with a mainline of approximately 1 statute miles that passes over four bridges and through an 80-foot tunnel. In addition, there is another half-mile of sidings, spurs, and yards. The mainline has a minimum radius of fifty feet and a maximum grade of three percent. Track expansions are being planned and built that will provide over one mile of continuous mainline running.

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
