New Engineer Class
for Steam Trains
By Andy Rogers
We plan to train members to run a steam locomotive on Feb 22, 10 am - 3 pm, with a possible future date in March. Please Let Vlad know if you plan to attend at vlakoval@gmail.com
We’re also toying with the idea of a class specifically for kids 10 to 15 years old in July, where kids must be accompanied by a parent. Please let Andy know if you’re interested in this at Andy@taxbuddha.com

About Us
Located in Tilden Park in the hills above Berkeley, California, the Golden Gate Live Steamers is a 501(c)(3) non-profit museum whose mission is to operate a miniature live steam railroad, to teach, inform & promote model engineering craftsmanship for the benefit of our members and to educate the Public on what live steaming & model engineering is all about.
Our club facilities include about 5,000 feet of 7.5", 2,000 feet of 4.75" dual-gauge ground level track and a 1,100 ft High Track loop consisting of 4.75", 3.5" and 2.5" triple-gauge track.
Members Sammy Tamez, Rich Croll & Rick Zobelein running on the 7.5" gauge outer & inner loops
We run a train carrying the Public for free (but donations are gratefully accepted) every Sunday from Noon to 3:00 pm, depending on the staffing & weather. Our station entrance is located just a bit further and below the Redwood Valley Railroad's passenger loading station.
If you have an interest in railroading, live steaming, home shop machining or model engineering, we would love to welcome you to our club. Please feel free to come to any of our monthly club meetings and introduce yourself. Our club meetings are usually held on the second Sunday of each month starting at 10 am but please check our club calendar for the actual dates.
