Reply to "Live steam?"

You could always buy a used Lathe and find some plans there is some old time history out there. Little Engine's had 1/4" scale live steamers in the 30's and 40's. I think Bob2 even has one or two. There were also many other sources, much like the many kit suppliers of electric loco kits of the smae time period. If you like British steam, LBSC was famous for his many designs. You might compare him to Frank Ellison in the sense he published maybe 70-80 live steam articles from the 30's to the 60's. I have castings for his "Bat" which is a 4-4-0 Schools type in O.

He also did a Hudson, called Josie. Youcan still get castings from Kennions in UK.

I think there is a UK Bowman 4-4-0 on ebay right now. Those turn up fairly often.
