Another goal was to have live steam "meets" each year where all the brothers could "meet".
Membership is open to all those involved or interested in the Live Steam hobby. This definition has grown to include all types of locomotive equipment, including steam, diesel, electric, etc.

The first LGB locomotives and cars were presented 40 years ago and since then the real life original has been the prototype for our LGB models. Right from the start the emphasis was on authentic translation of the prototypes into models. The reproduction of many details is just much a part of LGB as working features for play and fun.

Right from the start the emphasis was on authentic translation of the prototypes into models. The reproduction of many details is just much a part of LGB as working features for play and fun. If nothing else LGB impresses people with its size which makes this adventure railroad so fascinating as a model too. This illusion becomes almost perfect when the trains run through the realistic nature of your own garden – and at any time of the year like the real life original.

Ridge Locomotive Works is owned and operated by Marty Knox. Marty Knox has the knowledge and experience to provide high quality boiler services to the live steam community. Like many Live Steamers his initial interest was in machine work. While an Industrial Education student at Kean College he built his first locomotive chassis to the point where it was running on air and needed a boiler. Getting a quote of $600, he decided to build his own, and actually used it as a project for his Metals Fabrication Class.
