As noted they were made for Far East brass loco builders and when sold out, they were really gone.
The describing text for this parts and the information if something is still available is the list.

An alternative for the loco steps i have found here:

But hurry, last orders are scheduled until Nov.17. this year, then you will wait until April 2016
Then i have a question to your awesome work; will it be possible to mount the steps, instead onto the pilot deck, onto the running boards?
My suggestion: If you prefer the plastic solution, there is the possibility to glue a thin "mounting plate" on the upper end of the thread supports? such an mounting plate will enlarge the area for glueing the plastic onto the underside of the brass running boards and will be nearly invisible.
And what is about soldering brass steps onto the running board?
My two cents to your awesome work.
