While the original camels or camelbacks had the cab on top, in later years camelback came to refer to the same engine as Mother Hubbard with the Wooten firebox and the cab long side the boiler. IHC sells a mogul version see http://www.ihc-hobby.com/cgi-bin/bsc.cgi?sn=U905230G03A1547F655196731R6G32
Others manufacturers have made them other wheel arrangements, but I don't know if any are in current production.
Enjoy
