Hi Gary,

You need to obtain the relevant copies of LLAS if it was described in LLAS (Don Young's quarterly magazine). I will need to check if it was so described as a construction series in LLAS.

It is a fantastic loco to drive! I drove a rather poorly made example that nevertheless went like a rocket, steamed superbly, and rode like a bogie coach. It is an excellent design IMHO.

Cheers,

Julian

Hi Garry, just FYI Live Steam magazine in USA serialized Mr Don Young's Lucky 7 and Maxi Lucky 7 build in the mid to late 1980's. I still have some copies of these mags with sections of the later build articles, but not all. May be another avenue to look for info – there may be someone in USA or Canada with the full set of mags covering it. Good luck finding the info you need. JD
