Brian,
I believe the last steam engines manufactured in the USA were pre-1950.
That's a 63+ year old rusting teapot to deal with. New is easier.

Recently had an opportunity to photograph a genuine steam engine on the
tracks. I took many pictures and will post some galleries when I get them up
on flicker. Meantime for those who have no moral objections to Google plus
please look at this link and let me know if the experience works for you.
Thanks

Great action shot.
A Chinese loco, eh? It seems odd that they would go to the expense of
importing it rather than restoring a local engine, but perhaps it was a
cheaper option.
