I don't know if copies of the magazine article or the book are available.
I hope this helps.

Dave, do you know if this was also published in Live Steam magazine too ? If so, remember which issue it was ?

Thanks,
Mike

All the Steam and Sterling articles are reprints from Live Steam Magazine, the article in question would have been from before 1980.  Sorry, my archive doesn't go back any farther than that.

I Googled it and found an eBay reference to it using the keywords "Thimble power plant live steam magazine":

Live Steam Magazine October 1976. 

It was sold.  The book is probably your best bet.
Warning it can cause eye strain! :bugeye:

No worry, I've got every Live Steam magazine from 1967 to the present and some of 1966 :thumbup: I'll look it up !! Thanks for the pointer :)

ChooChooMike:
Got the Oct 1976 issue and plans :thumbup: Lots of details & drawings.

Heck, there's even a few foldout pages in this issue (not related to the Thimble build). Allen locomotives catalog was $0.50 back then, now it's $5. Not too bad for inflation  :ddb:
