By 1967 the newsletter had expanded into magazine format with the name being changed to Live Steam Magazine.[1]
Present day
editIn 2005, the name was changed to Live Steam & Outdoor Railroading. It is currently published bi-monthly, in full color, with a press run of slightly over 10,000 as of December 2004.
