The short answer is no....

You would have to commission a model engineering company to make one for you. I don't know how much this would cost, but I do know that: a UK Class 7P Pacific "Britannia" costs over £5,000 in Gauge 1 live steam. This is a fairly common model. Construction and Delivery takes two years. (My friend Martyn gets his at the end of February 2009)....
