Its gotten to where I mostly run live steam, over my battery powered stuff or even my indoor Lionel stuff. The smells, the sounds, its honest and not some computer program on a chip being played thru a speaker. With RC control(very imporatant for me to keep my anxiety at bay), its fun to trundle around the layout at a scale speed, stop at the station, shunt wagons into the saw mill and brewery. Live steam was the main reason I got into G scale. While I would love a ride on scale engine in 7.5 gauge, the cost, the infastructure to handle and load such a heavy engine is well beyond my means. But I can carry G scale steamers around with ease. Another great book is Steam in your Garden by Tag Gorton, while heavy on the British focus, its a great read and covers important points when buying your first engine. Mike
