Engines powered by live steam are often built in large outdoor gauges of 5 inches (130mm) and 7 + 1⁄ 2 inches (190mm), are also available in Gauge 1, G scale, 16 mm scale and can be found in O and OO/HO. Hornby Railways produce live steam locomotives in OO, based on designs first arrived at by an amateur modeller. Other modellers have built live steam models in HO/OO, OO9 and N, and there is one in Z in Australia.
