Michael Hales wrote about the formation of the Houston Area Live Steamers, 2 June 2016:
- Just a small tidbit from when the club was just forming. Perfect timing for me, I had just asked the owner of the Bellaire Roundhouse if he knew of any Live Steam gatherings around Houston. He handed me a information sheet Jim Jackson had distributed around town about forming a club. Soon after that Jim had a meet at his backyard railroad in Jersey Village. The rest is History.
