In December of 1960 Pershing G. Scott, also known as "Scotty", took over the formerly Central New York Live Steamer newsletter. Scotty renamed the publication as the Live Steam Newsletter and published from his home in Iowa. He took a break from May through October, 1962, so there are only 6 issues printed in that year.

Scotty continued publication until ownership was transferred to William Fitt in June 1966. The first issue printed by Mr. Fitt was August 1966.

Scotty was also instrumental in the formation of the Iowa Model Steam Engineers.

Pershing was born on January 10, 1919, and died on June 12, 2002 at 83 years of age. He married Amber B. Scott August 30, 1941. Amber was born June 8, 1918 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and died January 17, 1985 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
