Seeking diagram of Gresley Valve Gear used for 3-cylinder locomotive.

Anybody know where I can find one?

Check your local library. I would imagine that if you could use inter library loan you could find either a few good books on british locomotives, (LNER if you are interested in Gresley conjugated motion), or a locomotive cyclopedia of the era may have a diagram.

I was suprised to see the large amount of British steam stuff that the University of Louisville Library has, so I know it is available.

Look at the last sentence under 'Walschaerts'.
It may help.

Look in the 1930 Locomotive Cyclopedia. Page 618 and 619 have pictures and diagrams. Alco had a license from Sir Nigel to apply his valve gear to locomotives in the U.S.A.
