This is the most important small-scale live steam event in the US. Around 200 steam enthusiasts bring their locomotives and run around the clock for a week. Attendees come from all over the world -- US, UK, Europe, Japan, Australia, the Caribbean. There is a "flea market" for buying and selling used items, model steamboat operation in the pool, a festive dinner, and general exhilaration at every moment. Extracurricular events include a railroad-related movie night, a "company" brass band concert, and more.
Seminars cover a wide range of topics such as building locomotives, prototype information, alcohol firing, machine work, painting and lining, geared locos, etc. Informal chat sessions throughout the week provide continuous learning opportunities.
Diamondhead Mississippi is approx. 1 hour drive east from New Orleans. Early reservations are strongly recommended, as the area hotels often sell out almost a year in advance. Here's your chance to spend a full week steaming with a great group of people!

The Summer Steamup is still a small, more intimate gathering than some of the older get-togethers, but with more opportunities for track time. The event features four days of small-scale live steam action at the Lions Gate Hotel in McClellan, Calif (just north of Sacramento).
There are ten steamup tracks, with 1 gauge and 0 gauge tracks, available from 6 am to 1 am. The program also includes dealer displays, workshop seminars, door prizes and the traditional swap table.
