Does anyone have images of LA&L number 17? It was a 2-8-2 steam engine used for excursion services way back...

Shows #17 pulling a train into Livonia from Avon. If recall serves, #17 was acquired in 1965 and entered service in 1966. The engine was replaced by #38 in 1968 and was sold for scrap. The tender was saved, however and was used on #38.Would it be possible for you to scan them?

Never photographed it, however, this being an era where there was no personal interest in doing so.Whatever you can do would be great! Thanks!
