Welcome to the Colorado Live Steamers!
We are an adult miniature outdoor railroad organization, comprised of people interested in all aspects of railroading, but especially in building and operating large scale model steam locomotives (including electric and internal combustion powered equipment). We have two different gauges of track; 7 ½" and 4 ¾" track laid at ground level.
Our goal is to provide:
- a meeting place and a site to operate trains that an individual would not have space to operate regularly
- fellowship for all levels of abilities from the novice to the expert machinist and engineer
- to share our knowledge that will advance Live Steam railroad technology
We are a Live Steam Railroad organization and NOT an amusement park. Children must be supervised at all times. For the safety of everyone, NO pets are allowed.
Unfortunately due to the current issues with Covid-19, we have chosen to not have our 2020 Annual Open House event this September. We hope to see you all next year! Please contact us viaCLS Contacts for details.
