[quote user="up831"]Ulrich: Live steam! Wow, that is wild. How does one stop, reverse direction, and do switching on reals steam that small? It's not like a person can hit the stop button on the DCC. Just curious.[/quote] I am afraid that the handling of such a tiny live steam loco is not really as comfortable as with a bigger, RC controlled live steamer. To stop it. one has to catch and hold it. To reverse it, you have to give it a gentle shove in the opposite direction. Switching, as we understand it, will be a little difficult. In my better days, when I still had a very good job, and house with a sizable garden, I had a large loop of G scale track in it and one of those to steam a long: <img src="http://gallery.myff.org/gallery/1812634/jessica+133.jpg" alt=" " /> and this one: <img src="http://www.buntbahn.de/fotos/data/6373/434Alberich_01.jpg" alt=" " /> With the loss of my job and my house, I had to sell them  [:'(] Live steam is so much fun! You get the sight, the sounds and the smell of the big ones. For the sound, I had a "bark box" installed in the black one, which improved the sound dramatically.
