It sounds to me like he is looking for copies of The Miniatiure Locomotive magazine that was published by Dick Bagley back in the early 1950’s. They are a treasure trove of great information.

Yes, the Bagley ones from the early 1950’s. I have most of them but I want to complete the run.

I sold my Live Steam and Modeltecs, but held on to these and Home Railway Journal. Miniature Locomotive is an excellent magazine and i still go through them from time to time for inspiration. Wish I still had extras for you.

Keith,

What was the last issue of the Miniature Locomotive, or how many issues total? I have some, but am not sure I have the full set.

And while I am asking, what is the last issue of the Modelmaker?

Thanks,

Doug

The last issue of The Miniature Locomotive was Nov/Dec 1954.
The last issue of The Modelmaker was June 1940 to the best of my knowledge.

I had all of the Miniature Locomotive magazines bound into a hard cover book. After the Miniature Locomotive magazine expired it was followed by The North American Live Steamer and then Pershing Scott’s Live Steam Newsletter which became Bill Fitt’s Live Steam Magazine.
