0-6-0T Saddle-Tank Engine

I would like to have a standard gauge tank engine as a switcher for an industrial line. A long time ago I bought the MDC/Roundhouse 3-in-1 kit Moose Jaws Static Kit 1550. Actually, I wanted to build a narrow gauge locomotive with it, but the shell/body was much too big for that (at least for HO scale).
