Jim - The complete Lima records are in Eric Hrsimaki's history of the Lima Locomotive Works.  At least I believe they're complete; there are a lot of them listed . . .

    I have copies of the builder records from most of the commercial 
    steam builders. I do not have the records of Lima, Porter or 
    Vulcan. Hope to obtain these some day. The records normally contain 
    the Month and year built, wheel arrangement, construction number and 
    original owners name. The Baldwin records are better than most as 
    they contain the information for the cylinders and drivers and space 
    for any special notes. So far there is no database with these records.

  Welcome Kenneth, I can't help you with this particular loco, but I do share your interest in steam  locomotives and may have met you sometime at Spencer, or Rural Hall on P-29/30. Hope to see you at some later date. Ron Hash
