I think it was made by Hornby in H.O. and came out about 2 years ago. Anyone ever use one? How well do they run? I'd love to see one in "O" scale.

I don't know about an HO engine, but they did come out with an OO live-steam model of the "Mallard" 4-6-2 a couple years ago. It looked pretty cool.

I think they are still available.

I see one of the mallards sitting in my local hobby shop on a weekly basis.
