Finger Lakes Live Steamers is a local non-profit organization in Clyde, NY that is dedicated to the construction and operation of large scale model railroad equipment. With a focus on steam, diesel, and electric locomotion, their mission is to foster the hobby of model trains by providing a publicly available facility and maintaining a reference library for enthusiasts, students, and scholars. They also aim to promote public awareness and interest in rail transportation, while emphasizing safety precautions in and around railroading activities.
Powered by steam, internal combustion, or electric batteries, the locomotives at Finger Lakes Live Steamers are operated by experienced members who have skills in railroading, machine shop practice, and model building. The organization welcomes anyone with an interest in this hobby and a desire to learn, offering opportunities for members to work on projects at the club and run trains on Saturday afternoons. Celebrating their 55th anniversary, Finger Lakes Live Steamers continues to grow and expand, thanks to the support of their members and community partners.
