Tony,
Peter has you taken care of, but to answer your question, the probability of
any Ga1 loco design from EIM appearing in booklet form is practically nil. The
reason is the usual one, not enough market, not enough Ga1 scratch builders to
make such a publication worth while. I've talked to a couple of Ga1 chums in
the UK who say there are very few of these being built, at least so far as is
known among G1MRA members. If it could be demonstrated that a publication run
of say 1000 or more could be sold it might be a viable proposition but the
actual demand would be 1/10th that or less. It's probably beneficial for EIM
to publish Ga1 articles at all because it expands the horizons of his magazine
and could attract new subscribers, book and back number buyers, and maybe an
advertsier or two.
Regards,
Harry
