Did anyone ever make one of these?

Ready to run, kit or have any of you ever scratch built one.

Yep. The Rich-Art company made a tinplate version some years ago.

There's also a very detailed brass version out there that pops up now and then - usually the SP version. I know Ken Kidder did one in brass for HO but I'm blanking on who did the O scale one - 3rd Rail?

Thanks for the info guys! I did find some drawings that will help with a scratch build if I don't turn up anything else.
