Aimed at the person who wants to get started in small-scale (1:13.7 to 1:32 on 45mm or 32mm gauge track) live steam, "Starting in Steam" provides a wealth of information on how the locomotives work, how to run them and how to care for them. Additionally, the book lists all the current major manufacturers and provides tips and tricks for getting the most fun out of the hobby. Readers are also given some basic background on railroading terms and practices, useful in running trains at "steamups," gatherings where hobbyists bring their favorite locomotives and rolling stock for a single afternoon or a whole week. Practical advise on fuels, oils and tools are given and the construction of a backyard railroad is detailed. Whether the reader is new to small-scale live steaming or an old hand, "Starting in Steam" will give them insights from the team that publishes Steam in the Garden, North America's only small-scale live steam model railroading magazine (many chapters appeared as articles in the magazine).
