Welcome to Small Scale Live Steam

This is a repository of materials from the archives of Steam in the Garden Magazine.

Steam in the Garden magazine was founded by Ron and Marie Brown in July 1990 because Ron, an avid small-scale live steamer, felt there were too few hobbyists in the United States and Canada and that the hobby was too centered on European- and British-profile prototypes.

Early issues of the magazine were printed on a duplicator and stapled in the upper left-hand corner of the page. Later issues were put together with plastic comb binding. The first three editions were reissued as a combined publication because all the extra copies sold out.

    • Hi Mike,

      It is active in that the Steam in the Garden archive hosted here is available. I’m looking to possibly add some more content. What would you like to see here? — Scott

  1. Hello,
    Issue 63 PFD file is missing. There is a photo is there but no file.
    Thanks for posting StiG Magazines online. I have had a hard time trying to find back issues.

    • Hi Mike, Sorry for the delay in responding, this section of the website admin is not actively monitored. Guess I should do better in checking this. I have uploaded issue #63 into the correct directory. The link from the archive page will take you to it. Thanks for letting me know. — Scott
