Description


Los Angeles Live Steamers Railroad Museum

Los Angeles Live Steamers Railroad Museum (LALS) is a non-profit public-benefit corporation that was founded in 1956 by live steam enthusiasts for the purpose of educating the public about railroad history and lore, and to promote the avocation of live steam and scale model railroad technology. The museum is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Sunday. In 1956, all the locomotive model engines were steam powered, hence the name "Live Steamers". Over the years, gasoline powered models of diesel locomotives and battery-electric locomotives and trolleys have also become popular. The museum operates a 7 2 in (190.5 mm) gauge miniature railway on which these locomotives pull trains that the public can ride. The museum also has multiple layouts with smaller gauge track for model railroads.
