Does anyone know where I can find a person or place who has the miniature locomotive magazine issues covering the construction of H.J.Coventry's 0-6-0 in 3/4 inch scale?

I have all the copies of the MINIATURE LOCOMOTIVE ever printed.

What do you need?

I would need the issues from 1954 that cover the construction of H.J. Coventry's 3/4 inch scale 0-6-0.

If I remember correctly, it is not complete. The magazine folded before the loco was done. (i have copied this for others)

I will look the next day ro so and let you know

They're available in "stapled booklet" form from Friends Models, copied from the magazines, all in order, etc. and include the followup articles from the North American Live Steamer as well. (Boiler, valve gear and a few other items were covered in this publication after The Miniature Locomotive went out of business).

Bill,

What was the last issue of Miniature locomotive?

For that matter, can anyone tell me what was the last issue of Modelmaker?

Thanks,

Doug

Hi johnk, when you order the castings and plans from friends do you get the booklet of the magazine articles?

Having what appears to be a complete set of bound volumes of Modelmaker, the last issue was:
Volume 17, Number 9, June, 1940.

In a bit of a panic right now - cannot find the folder.

Have to ask a couple of people

My apologies, but brain has been awash the past 10 months and things have gotten away from me.

FOUNDTHEM!!! Hidden in plain sight.

Issues July-Aug 1952 through May-June 1954 appears to be the range.

Harrys 0-6-0 STARTS March-April 1954 and the magazine ends with the next issue

It just basically deals with laying out the cylinder blocks.

It is only 4-5 pages, I can scan them if you like - hardly seems worth it if you are going to get the drawings / castings from John K, you will have more information from him than these pages.

Let me know.
