Josh, Your figures are correct. 1 foot in full scale is reduced to 1 inch in the 1:12 ratio. If it were a 1:6 or maybe a 1:5 it could make a neat kids' ride-on model.

Yes, HO scale Live Steam Locomotives are done almost frequently. (1/89th scale - or is it 1/84th?) On the other hand, N scale (1:160) Live Steam has been successfully built but is EXTREMELY RARE. For a scale MV, I would probably want to stick to a more reasonable 1/16th or maybe 1/24th scale...
