One feature of live steam that is commencing to gain recognition is the historical side. I don't think many of the Live Steamers have thought much about it, but it will not be long now before the only place you will be able to see what a steam locomotive looks like will be a Live Steamer meeting. In a few years there are going to be lots and lots of kids around, and grown-ups also, who will not remember having seen a steam loco.

Everything on this earth takes time, even a flash of lightning, and steam doesn't move quite as fast as that.
- L.B.S.C., The Live Steamer, May-June 1951
Standards are among the tools of simplification. How many of us would be in the hobby if we had to turn all of our wheels by hand on a lathe? Standards have produced many a practical shortcut so that all kinds of men besides machinists can enjoy model railroading.
