Live Steam was originally started as the Live Steam Newsletter in the early 1960s by Pershing Scott as a mimeographed newsletter.[1] In August 1966, Scott gave the publishing rights of the newsletter to William Fitt. By 1967 the newsletter had expanded into magazine format with the name being changed to Live Steam Magazine.[1]

Present day

In 2005, the name was changed to Live Steam & Outdoor Railroading. It is currently published bi-monthly, in full color, with a press run of slightly over 10,000 as of December 2004.
