A 4-6-0 kit was produced in the early 80's by a gentleman in Minnesota, he has since passed away. Not sure if that is what you are referring to? The kit had a brass boiler and cab, minimal detail and epoxy steam chest, fire box and tender. I replaced the tender with an SSL&S USRA, but the rest (and a lot of SSL&S details) built up to a very credible ten wheeler, I think I used the NYC F12g as the prototype.
I really enjoyed that little engine, but alas the plastic driver centers eventually loosened on the steel axles and it would no longer run. It sits in a box patiently waiting for new drivers.... Perhaps Ken Z. remembers the gentleman who made it. After he died, the company did indeed go to Jan Lorenzen (Locomotive Workshop), but I don't recall Jan ever making salable kits again.
