Looking at the S Scale American Models hopper, the question becomes:
What about a EBT Mikado?
The old BLI On30 C-16 has an almost right mechanism, boiler dia and tender. Bowser HO 69" drivers at 44" are close to the 48" prototype. The axles are .125 on the Bowser and the BLI are .109 but that is an easy fix. The BLI has separate bearings.
Not quite a match but close.
