So I've been wanting a O gauge version of the A1 Peppercorn Class Tornado and the company Darstaed had one in pre-production back in 2013, but so far I haven't found any recent news on it. Did the locomotive ever make it past that stage and if it did, can I still buy one? Photo is a screenshot from a video of the pre-production model in use. Link is to that video.

Darstaed website says "postponed". I would read that as "cancelled".

You could check with the US dealer.
Now there's a locomotive that MTH should tool up for!

Well shoot. That sucks. Maybe that'll change at some point. I'm still gonna hold out hope. If not I'll probably get a custom built for me. I know a guy who does it all the time. He's actually repainting my Ten-Wheeler into the Hooterville Cannonball. Thanks!
PS. Where's this dealer? They got a link or something?

Not a bad idea. They already did the Orient Express, didn't they?

That was current at least as of October. He sets up in the Orange hall at York.

Might go up to York next year. I've always wanted to go. Now I got a reason. Thanks for your help guys!
A TORNADO steamer would sell. Except for a girl named Dorothy in Kansas.
