I will sell or physically lend books...but thats all I can offer at this point.

I still might consider this project...but not until I can get in touch with Kooklik.
I wouldn't want to muscle in on the project without knowing for sure that his project is completely stalled.

What scale are you considering?
Hopefully larger than 1/48...just too small in my opinion.
I'd like to see 1/25 or bigger, like what Kooklik is doing.

Good idea Dave. Remember when everyone thought Rupert Chicken was no longer
around? My son thinks he's found Kooklik on facebook. If you bought his VII sub,
which I'm sure you did he sent an email for some parts he corrected with his
complete name. Google it, It seems that his last name is about as common in
Thailand as Smith or Jones is here.

You might try to contact the NMRA, National Model Rail Association. They have a very large library and printed drawings of the Challenger for me in the dim past. Maybe they can help?

I would be very interesetd in a decent scaled 4-8-8-4, preferably 1/25.

I forgot that I created a couple of photobucket albums of the pictures for Kooklik. Here are the links.

This loco is every cardmodeler dream who like glue the trains. Hard too get good quality dravings for 1:25 scale. UP have all dravings of their locomotives. For simply modeller this is very expensive to buy such stuff like this. Maybe some day
