[quote user="cacole"] Iceman,Poland and Ecuador still run steam, and there are no doubt other countries as well.  There have been several Trains & Locomotives episodes on RFD-TV about China's and Poland's steam railroads.If you look at a copy of Model Railroader for the Trains Unlimited Tours advertisement, there are several steam railroads listed that you can buy a ticket on, including several in the U.S. of A.There are at least two tourist railroads in the U.S., one in Iowa and one in New England, that are using Chinese-built 2-8-2 Mikado steam engines that were bought new from China in the 1990's, because they were still manufacturing steam engines then. [/quote]I didn't know there is still a market for steam engines, must be dirt cheap from China!I know about the various steam tourist train ride thingy...my brother in-law was telling me last year about this luxury tourist train with double bed suites from Gunazhou to Tibet for a week and apparently it goes all the way to the top of Tibet where they supply oxygen to you because that's how high you go.  Cost a bit though...work out to be around 2 or 3 grand...but I suppose it's not too bad, the whole journey is for week...
