Not unless somebody scratch-built it. There has never been a commercial version available in N; brass or otherwise.

Yeah. Pretty much confirmed here: http://www.spookshow.net/locolist.php?diesels=6&steam=1&traction=2&brass=4&sortby=4&Submit=Submit

Huge list of N scale brass, and no Jawn Henry or any of the other one- or two-off steam turbine-electrics.

I remember somebody - probably MR - running a full set of scale drawings at one time.   So you RP guys have a shot at it.

RMC Oct 1976. I think I still have that issue.

This would be one of those "unique and interesting" locos that I would buy even though it has absolutely nothing to do with my modeling era or location.

Your correct. I forgot I posted this.  I'd like to make one but time is the factor. busy building large ship models on commission and brass propellers plus my own N scale gets very little love these days..  I did think about the alco trucks as a start.

It would be a very major project in my opinion. The tender trucks would need custom sideframes as well. A mechanism to drive four trucks would be an "interesting" challenge.

If someone produced one I'd be tempted - I think it only ran for about 3 years. I wonder if any sound recordings are out there?
