Surviving Steam Locomotives

Are you trying to locate an existing steam locomotive? The Surviving Steam Locomotive Database would be a good place to begin your search. The Surviving Steam Locomotive Database can be navigated by state, class, wheel arrangement, railroad, gauge, or locomotive builder.

Model Trains

This web site primarily contains information on full-scale steam locomotives of North America (and throughout the world). However, I do have some good information on Model Trains. In this section, you will find the

• Guide to HO Steam Locomotives
• Guide to HO Brass Steam Locomotives
• Train Miniature Car Spotter's Guide

Historical Information

If you are looking for historical information or something not directly related to steam locomotives and a general web search is not turning up anything I would search some of the railroad bulletin board systems. Please check this page if you are looking for information like this.

Mobile Phone Users

For those of you who travel or just browse with mobile phones you may be interested in my mobile phone version of the surviving steam locomotive database. Bookmark this URL on your cell phone for when you are travelling.

Wheel Arrangements

The second best thing about this site is its collection of steam locomotive classifications and dimensional data. This data is organized by wheel arrangement using the Whyte System. Use the "Wheel Arrangements" menu above or the button below to navigate this data.

The World of Steam Locomotives

Browse the world of steam locomotives. These pages include details on steam locomotives in all parts of the world. Data kindly provided by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media.

What's So Great About This Site?

If you just found this site for the first time and don't know where to start looking, may I suggest you begin by browsing the Surviving Steam Locomotive Database. The creation of this database is what drove me back in the mid 1990s to create this web site. If that doesn't float your boat check out the steam locomotive wheel arrangements.

This site contains an abundance of information on Australian steam locomotives. There are lists of preserved Australian steam locomotives, google map views of surviving steam, detailed specifications of Australian steam, and virtual tours (photos) of Australian steam locomotives.
