Re: Invicta in 1.5" Scale
Dean,
Bruce's Invicta was built in the mid 1950s and was completed in time to run at the 1960 BLS meet at LALS. Bruce up scaled the prints from England for the 3 1/2" gage version + extra engineering for his version. Somebody in the mid west built a group of Invictas from their own plans. They may still be in business or can be contacted. I don't remember if Bruce ever had a full set of prints for his engine. You have every thing that we found in his condo after he passed.

The only items that came with the locomotive were a number of patterns and the set of LBSC drawings with a few notes. I have a lead on the drawings and should have them in a couple of days. Sure would like to have the drawings for the valve gear and Bruce got away from the slip eccentrics that are shown on the drawings.
