Does this mean the gasser is back?

Received my copy of David Myrick's "Railroads of Nevada and Eastern California" part III today. One chapter is about the 30" gauge Sloat Lumber Co., which operated two steam locomotives which would make excellent models:

- a two cylinder Shay, but a lot more modern looking than the current one, and around 24 tons, a more useful size for real railroad work

- an 18 ton, 0-4-0 side tank Porter, equipped with an auxiliary tender and a very funky air reservoir mounted on top of the side tank. Again a much more useful size than the current little dinky, and lots of room for sound and DCC.

Yes, I know Grandt Line made the 18t Porter, but the conversion to 30" gauge is not easy, and I am not sure it is still available.
