Power Model supply used to have castings and drawings for a C-19. I don't think any of that is available anywhere now.

C19 castings are still available (ironically) from England.

The C-19 Castings that were one available from Dave Conway ended up with George Lavacot. They are available through http://www.ridgwayroundhouseproducts.com They are very nice casting, they just needed better prints (which I have slowly been redrawing in Fusion 360)

Several completed ones built from those casting are running around. Just look for the Narrow Gauge meet at Train Mountain https://youtu.be/JHwCXGJRKYgor the Flintridge & Portola Valley https://youtu.be/UeS3DPr1Nsw

Just looked at the ridgeway round house products web site. The only working links go to condominium projects in Singapore and another condo sales brochure somewhere possibly in California. Clicking on the list of products just takes me back to the main page. Nothing to be seen at all about whatever they proport to sell.

The locomotive I'm talking about was offered by Jon Braun through little engines during his ownership. It was never an actual LE product. Not many were built, this may be the only one. Mike V. Built the syperstucture, and Braun built the boiler, which is shot. I'm considering buying this thing.

From the picture and the caboose behind the engine looks like it is 1 1/2" scale.
