There will be websites in the USA for steam trains, I keep seeing dvds and videos of "big boys" etc. I know there are preserved steam lines there but have no idea of their names. Other things that could be typed into a search engine are names like Baldwin, ALCO and LIMA(Ohio) Products of those locoworks (locomotives because they moved) finished up in Europe and the UK as a result of both World Wars. The Churnet Valley Railway here in the UK have restored one such LIMA loco, tis magnificent!! Despite the despariging comments about chappies with cameras, if you want to see brilliant railway photography in the States "O Winston Lock" is the guy to check out. There must be a website of his work; it was super! And as for 2-4-2s there is one ex L&Y 2-4-2 tank engine in the National Railway Museum at York.. (UK) Here's to steam in the lungs!!
