Montreal Live Steamers

The Montreal Live Steamers is a private club that was formed in 1934 for builders of scale steam locomotives. It has grown into a non-profit corporation that owns property in Les Cèdres, QC with tracks of various gauges to allow trains of different scales to operate.

The club opens its gates to the public twice a month during the summer and rides are sometimes available at no cost.

Membership is open for anyone interested in joining the club.
