Key Imports

They are hard to come by because only a couple hundred were made. It is also a scale model so it is not double articulated. It requires 14"R curves or larger.

Keep an eye on the brass train shops and Ebay.

I would speculate the Key Imports model of the H8 is no longer in production. As mentioned, It probably had a very low production run of maybe 250? I would be in favor of a "Mass" produced model like the other Bachmann articulated and made available to more people.
