Has somebody in the US made an HO model you could import?

Thanks for the tip John... After some Googling I found a large number of pictures of Loram's US grinders, and unfortunately the design is *very* different to the examples exported to here... However, Loram also export to Europe and Australia, among other places, so I'll see if I can find out about their versions and see if anyone does a HO model I could add to the shopping list :o)
