Compact steep spectrum (CSS) sources show all the features of the powerful extended radio galaxies and quasars but on a scale at least ten times smaller. The debate continues over whether this is primarily due to a difference in age or the result of denser gas surrounding CSS sources (Fanti et al. 1990); although two of the most recent investigations favour the view that CSS sources are young (Readhead et al. and Fanti et al., these proceedings)
