Does anyone yet produce an 'N' gauge Shay style locomotive?

The Atlas n scale Shay was a real hoot to watch.  I had one and six cars on a teeny shelf layout that we used to set up at train shows - the BIG Bachmann Fn3 Shays and stuff underneath on a bigger track.  The problem was that they were just so pickup-able and handy - somebody picked it up and just happened to forget it was in their hand....and walked off.  I never saw it go.

Figured that we'd notice if somebody picked up one of our three-truckers and tried to walk off with it, and shrugged it off.

Great little loco if you can find one these days - get it.
