Live Steam - Live steam models are small, usually scale models of steam-powered vehicles or machinery that use real steam to power their movement. These models can be incredibly detailed and complex, often featuring working pistons, cylinders, and other steam-powered components.

Live steam models are typically made by hobbyists and enthusiasts, who enjoy building and operating these miniature steam-powered machines. They can be used to create working replicas of everything from steam locomotives and steamboats to steam engines and traction engines.
Gauge - The first model railways had a track width of 48mm (1.89 inches) which was named 1 gauge. With smaller key-wind locomotives a narrower gauge was introduced, call 0 gauge, and then in the early 20th century "half 0" (or HO) gauge was introduced. In Britain and the Commonwealth countries this was called "00" gauge.
