The years rattled on, including the WW II years, and after the war was over, several members spoke of the desire to operate their locomotives outdoors in a similar manner as Purinton on the East Coast was doing. After some very diligent searching, the new Golden Gate Live Steamers club was able to secure the use of a large piece of land in Oakland's Redwood Regional Park on which to build an outdoor track. This took place in 1948.
Bill Michaels and Wallace Ribbeck and their 1/2 inch scale live steamers are featured in a three page article in Model Railroader, November 1948.
