Live Steam & Outdoor Railroading

History
From Large-scale Model Railroading, page 7:


 * Several attempts were made at publishing a magazine for the large-scale model railroading field, but each lasted only a short time. These included the Live Steamer, published about 1950, followed by The Miniature Locomotive starting 1952, followed by the North American Live Steamer in 1956 and the Live Steam Newsletter starting in 1960.  The Live Steam Newsletter was published in Iowa by Pershing G. Scott until 1966.  At that time, William Fitt, then of Birmingham, Michigan, assumed the reins of the Live Steam Newsletter and published it under the abbreviated name Live Steam.

From Wikipedia:


 * Live Steam was originally started as the "Live Steam Newsletter" in the early 1960s by Pershing Scott as a mimeographed newsletter. 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".


 * 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.

From DiscoverLiveSteam.com:


 * In August of 1966, Scott gave the publishing rights to his “Live Steam Newsletter” to William Fitt. Fitt immediately set about getting a complimentary copy of his newly formatted newsletter to everyone on Pershing Scott’s mailing list. Within a year, the newsletter had grown into a professional looking and well-printed magazine. At that point, Bill Fitt changed the name to reflect that growth and, since 1967, it has been known as “Live Steam Magazine.”
