Does anyone know where I could find a 2-8-0 locomotive like this in N-scale ?

I am told the prototype is European-made. Since I know I am not so lucky as to find an already decorated Hull-Chelsea-Wakefield locomotive, I’d be willing to consider decorating (or re-decorating) one in order to match the HCW colours (as seen in the above photos).

Any help is appreciated.

If it’s European made, i would try marklin or someone like that, or the notorious Ebay… you definitly would have to redecotate it…good luck

The only decent American-prototype 2-8-0s on the market are Bachmann and Roundhouse engines, both totally inappropriate to represent that engine.

If Trix or Marklin don’t have something similar, look at Micro Ace and Kato; both make dozens of beautiful N scale steam engines, and might have something close.

Also Fleishmann might have something.

I’ll second previous responses - I’m only aware of one Fleischmann loco that looks anything like this (Item 7153) - this is an 0-8-0 rather than 2-8-0 but looks fairly similar otherwise. You could also try the Japanese ranges, but you may well have to settle for something similar rather than the exact type. At a guess it looks vaguely Swedi***o me, so Heljan may have something similar too.
