Anyone know where I can find a 4-4-0 american with a russia iron boiler?
Look at the MMI pages. Delivery - hm - 2009. Maybe..

Or do you mean the Bachmann outside-framed 4-4-0, the Brazilian one with the bluish boiler? If that's the case, I would suggest checking with the usual suspects.

yup I meant the bachmann model. I already placed a pre order for the MMI model with Caboose Hobbies.
the usual suspects do not offer a 4-4-0 with a russia iron boiler
Walthers has it on sale "today." I'm not sure how long that sale will last.

Otherwise, you could try John Weigel's Peterboro R.R., Nathan Kline's Light Iron Hobbies, Lantz' wholesaletrains.com, maybe even Trainworld. Also found a few on Ebay.

It is a shame that Bachmann has not produced the inside frame 4-4-0 with a Russian iron boiler.

An Australian company (Steam in the Bush) have an outside frame version listed with a Russian iron boiler in their eBay store catalogue.
I looked at the Walthers site today, and they list it still on sale, but out of stock.
I have bought from "steam in the bush" before and shipping was pretty quick considering how far away they are. I was thinking about bidding on it, but I just bought a C19, so my budget is shot for a while.
