  • If only americans were the first to discover something like live steam, but the first live steamer were actually germany in around the late 1800's.

  • That is one great video.

    I saw Wada-san run it at Diamondhead back in '95. I couldn't believe my eyes, (and ears). It brings back wonderful memories.

  • That was VERY cool.

  • can they control the speed on that?

  • probably with a servo controlled through electrified rails.

  • @bovlch - Rails are not powered. Servos controlled by R/C.

  • Thank you for posting. This is beyond awesome. Five stars.

  • This was a one off created by Mr. Kosaku Wada of Wada Works of Japan. It was made in O scale as a Union Pacific "Big Blow" and available in Japan back in 1995.

  • Wow, i thougt of something like this in the past... It looks beautiful, exept for the noisy vaporizing burner.. I would like to hear more of the turbine itself! Does the turbine drive the wheels directly by gears, or is it "steam-electric", just like the "diesels"?

  • This version as direct drive with a 17:1 gear ratio. A later version was steam turbine-electric.
