As best as I can recall, Roundhouse make O-gauge wheel sets for some of its locomotives. Specifically its models of Sandy River and Rangley Lakes (2 ft gauge) offer either G-gauge or O-gauge wheel sets.
Of course the Roundhouse steamers are not O-scale. They are even too small to be G-scale on G-gauge track
Bassett Lowke was probably the most prolific in O gauge coarse scale with thier Stainer mogul in its various colors. I remember seeing a very plain 0-6-0 with a single inside cylinder and slip eccentrics made by Leeds I think or another British company that was a RTR pot boilered engine fired by meths. My friend has one of the reissued Bassett Lowke by Corgi moguls, but we have yet to fire it. He has nowhere to run it and the local steam group only has 45mm gauge track on the portable steamup layout. Trying to talk him into laying a 3rd rail for 32mm gauge so that both 16mm narrow gauge and O gauge can run to. Love to have one of those reissue moguls myself. Mike
