I saw some of these at the model train show in Plano this weekend.
If you are looking for a Live Steam Club in the Texas area, check out http://www.swlsonline.org/ These trains are built to the 7 1/2 gauge, meaning the distance between the rails is 7 1/2 inches, big enough to ride on. I was a member of the Club years ago. Bewareā¦it is an expensive hobby with some of the steam locomotives costing more that a brand new car.

I know this isnāt exactly what you asked for, but there is a huge model train set (estimated $1M and roughly 2000 sq. ft.) that was donated to Frisco. My next door neighbor used to be mayor and is still actively involved with all things Frisco and wonāt shut up about this topic to me. Hereās a news article about it https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Amazing-Model-Train-Set-Donated-to-Frisco-Museum-414130593.html but Iām sure if you look on the city of Friscoās website you can find out more info - I know they were looking for help moving itā¦
