HistoryIn 1977 a group of six individuals met in Lilburn, Georgia to form what would become the North Georgia Live Steamers. Composed of diverse individuals, the group organized in order to promote the live steam hobby and assist others interested in the construction of scale steam engines, diesel locomotives, and railroad equipment. At the beginning of 2009, NGLS relocated to the Georgia International Horse Park (GIHP) in Conyers, Georgia to begin building the Conyers & Hightower Trail Railroad. A parcel of land along the Yellow River on Centennial Olympic Parkway as been leased long term from the City of Conyers by NGLS to build a permanent railroad/historical park. Construction phases are in progress at this time. On November 2, 2013 we officially opened the new track at GIHP to the public with our Grand Opening and Golden Spike day.SpecialtiesThe North Georgia Live Steamers (NGLS) is an incorporated non-profit miniature outdoor railroad club that encourages and assists others interested in the construction of scale steam engines, locomotives and railroad equipment through fellowship with others in the Live Steam hobby.
